Knitted borders and simple star ornament

I weave as well as knit. I find that a lot of the knitted borders look great on Triloom shawls.... You can even make a small 4 foot Triloom piece into a nice shawl with a lace knitted border. Why combine the two... If you have yarn you really love and want to make a shawl out of it but you don't have enough yardage to knit a big piece... Plus the weaving can be a bit faster. For now I am simple lace knitter...hopefully I will venture into more complicated designs.

 

This is a cute little Christmas star pattern knitted from www.yarn.com. It is easy and fun and free.
