Chaord, coined by Dee Hock in his book, Birth of the Chaordic Age, is a combination of the words chaos and order. Chaos nurtures and supports the creative budding of ideas. Order helps those ideas to flower and become fruit. Too much order stifles creativity; too much chaos prevents getting anything finished.

Pattern Highlights

U-Turn a generously sized, slightly crescent, triangular lace shawl that is reversible, though the two sides are fraternal twins rather than identical. Even though it uses Judy’s Magic cast on and a modified version of Magic Loop, it is worked flat, not in the round.

Fence Rail Lizard is a moebius wrap or scarf knit in the round. It works with any gauge yarn and includes directions to make any desired size. While the wrap is a more feminine accessory, the scarf is unisex. Knit in a lighter weight yarn, even the wrap can be worn as a scarf.
