Silk Halo Lonely Tree Shawl
A Lump
Rose is inspired to try a little lace knitting… She has a new little ball of Silk Halo yarn from Mont Tricot, and also an upcoming Special occasion…
Incipient Shawl
A helpful relative downloaded the free Ravelry pattern “The Lonely Tree Shawl” by softsweater. Min is impressed with the way Rose can follow a chart, and make a lump of tangled yarn look like an incipient shawl.

What a beautiful shawl and a very special gift for the birthday girl, Hitty Constance. Hitty Madge sends Birthday Greetings.
Rose is blushing, and Constance thanks you and Hitty Madge!
Happy birthday, Constance! I wonder if the other HIttys will expect new shawls for their birthdays, too? Lucky them! 🙂
Rose is sharpening up her knitting needles! There are many girls to knit for, and she wonders if she will ever be good enough to do argyle socks for Mungo!
What a sweet episode. Thank you for letting us in on the leadings up to a fine celebration.
Thank you – we are delighted with the way the shawl worked out, and May 25th is a special day in the Quimper Hitty cupboard.
Gorgeous shawl! Lucky Hitty!
Thanks! I (ahem – Rose) had fun making it, and were so happy to have a special present for Constance.
happy memories for the Hitty girls. a beautiful present and maybe Rose can borrow it for her special occasion.
Rose was very generous to give away her first lacework knitting, but Constance is generous with all her clothes – the Hittys share almost everything!
Happy, happy Constance and congratulations to Rose on a job very well done! I guess I should get knitting, but that may have to wait a bit. Too busy building and painting right now. Hitty Sophie and all of her siblings send their love.
The yarn is fun to knit but it will wait till you have the time! The Quimper Hittys are so happy to hear from their new friends, and send love from Victoria back to Sophie and her sisters!
A birthday for Constance? How time flies! That shawl is a treasure fit for the special birthday girl!
It doesn’t seem possible, but Constance is Seven! The shawl is filled with nice memories, and Constance says it is lovely and soft as well as pretty!
Happy Birthday Constance! What a beautiful shawl you have!
Thanks to the obliging relative who provided the pattern and moral support during the lumpish stage of shawl-knitting!
Happy belated birthday to Constance. That shawl is stunning!!! What talent…and the color suits her so nicely.The Country Hittys and I are very very impressed. Talent and style!!!
Constance thought Rose was knitting for herself, since she picked out the colour! Thanks very much for your kind compliments and birthday greetings! Hello to the Country Hittys from Victoria!
Please tell Constance that her Birthday present that I so carelessly lost in Tofino has been found and is wending it’s way slowly to the hitty cupboard.
Constance is delighted that though it once was lost but now is found, and looks forward to presents whenever they appear!
