Fallgora
This shawl resembles the Bead Lightning Shawl excepting that it comes in one size and there are only charts and no written instructions to follow.
Sometimes inspiration for a new design hits you like a bolt of lightning…literally! As I was sitting on my balcony with some maroon yarn and matching beads struggling to come up with a unique design, a flash of lightning struck nearby. Thankfully, instead of the lightning, an idea struck me!
Bead lightning! Lightning in which the intensity appears to vary along the path and which resembles a string of beads! I have named this piece “Fallgora” as a little play on words for the Roman goddess of lightning, “Fulgora.” The pattern appears as panels of vertical and horizontal bolts of lightning when it is worn.
Great for a beginner to become familiar with working with lace and beads and an advanced knitter who likes elegance and the drape that beads lend.
Beads are strung before knitting.
