Liath
I'm still playing catch-up with the pattern releases...
Liath (pronounced lee-ah, and meaning 'grey' in Irish) was released earlier this year. This is a triangular garter stitch shawl, featuring a slipped stitch motif.
The pattern came to life after I bought some gorgeous mini skeins from Ellie and Ada at last year's Woollinn Festival. It took me a while to figure out how best to combine these colours, and my love for soothing garter stitch.
The pattern begins by casting on just a few stitches, working in alternating garter stitch stripes, and increasing the stitch count as you work. The mini skeins are arranged in a fade progression, with the slipped stitch pattern changing as each new colour is introduced.
EDIT: The pattern is available to buy on Payhip at this link, or in my Ravelry Store.
I do love this shawl, and do tend to wear it more than others on a chilly day. I find simple garter stitch patterns incredibly soothing, and am tempted to make more. I'll be keeping an eye out for mini skeins at this year's Woollinn.

This shawl was designed to showcase a set of mini skeins, combining one large semi-solid yarn with complementary semi-solid and speckled yarns. The mini skeins are arranged in a 'fade' progression, providing more contrast with the main colour as the shawl progresses.
