"Old Shale" is another very easy lace pattern that becomes almost mindless, also called "Feather and Fan". This yarn is an inexpensive Red Heart worsted weight varigated. This is a very well known old standby pattern. There are many free patterns on the web for it in variations. I like it because only one row in each 4 row repeat is a little complicated, the rest are just purl and knit. Even the harder row becomes easy, making it an easy take along project. I used sized 9 knitting needles. This will be a charity baby blanket, or else a gift for someone. I like the subtle colors.

I love this baby blanket. There has to be a crochet version of it somewhere.
By the way, thanks for the compliments on my blog. I love your site and have added you to my favorites as well. I don't have a public blog list, but am really thinking about making one.
