I dare you to say "Miranda's Sea Shawl by the Seashore" 3 times fast! July, Garilynn came up with a beautiful and versatile shawl pattern- I think this pattern will become quite popular in the next few months when the weather begins to turn cooler and folks need a little something extra about them. I love the idea of spinning your own shawl and Garilynn has included fiber from WCMercantile for you to try in this kit.
In this pattern, Garilynn talks about how she notices that in Waterhouse's depiction of Miranda, she's not wearing any sort of shawl though the weather is obviously violent- see above picture from www.jwwaterhouse.com and I think it's very cool that she would notice this! Maybe it was intentional- showing how vulnerable the Miranda character is when the shipwreck occurs?
At any rate, this is an easy and versatile pattern and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it!
Visit Garilynn today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be giving away this kit to a lucky commenter this week- you can gain extra entries by twittering, facebooking, plurking etc! Just remember to let us know you did ;)

The skein snake looks great for washing multiple skeins!
The Knit Stitch graph paper may get me to actually take the leap to new stitch patterns!
Miranda's Sea Shawl by the Seashore's wonderful, but I choose Elementary 'cause it's too much fun :-)

My favorite item is the Miranda's Sea Shawl by the Sea Shore - KNITTING PATTERN - Shawl, Scarf.
Oh gosh, that would be such a fun project to complete! Add me to the giveaway, please.
I went to the shop, and immediately I was drawn to their Knit Stitch Graph Paper. I got into fair isle knitting a few months ago and spent umptine hours creating graphs.. And knit stitches are not square! This really looks like a better way to graph fair isle and I just might have to break down and buy myself some.

I love her skien snakes - what an awesome and helpful idea! :-)
I think the Bernard in Garter pattern is pretty cool. Also, I think the elastic stitch markers would be really handy if I didn't always lose mine! Anyways, I think this is a perfect project for me since my name is Miranda as well!
I've gotta choose the Hyacinth Bucket Hat - Knitting Pattern. Love Keeping Up Appearances!

I think the Elementary - Deerstalker Knitting Pattern would be perfect for winters here in New England.
The Bernard flat cap would be perfect for my Dad.
Bernard in Garter looks great.
Holy crappity, I do love the shawl knitting pattern the most, even if it IS part of the giveaway. ;)
I need to make that Elementary hat, I believe.
I love the skein snake. It's not something I would have thought of and it sounds very useful.

Besides the shawl, I love the Flower Scour Power. I also have the Little Gray Hare pattern that I hope to make this week. She is a clever lady.
The Bucket Hat is cute too!
