Hi everyone!
Having the desire to knit something nice while facing a couple of serious family illnesses, I recently tried several patterns, only to make mistakes and rip them out again. I needed a beautiful pattern that was a very low stress knit for this time in my life. I did not want to do dishcloths; I needed something soft and beautiful in my hands and on my needles.
Then I found Feather and Fan Short Scarf by Kelly Faller! So here it is for anyone who is in a similar place in your life. The free pattern download link is to the right on her page (a green link). Here is mine:

I just have it pinned in the photo, but I think a band of some kind would be a nice way to style it. I used DK instead of lace weight -- it worked up nicely!
I thought a thread might be helpful where we could share simple but really lovely knitting patterns, free or otherwise, for times like this....sitting with a loved one in the hospital, or with an elderly parent...pretty patterns that feed our souls while we are ministering to others.
Thank you in advance.
I did not see a thread already started along this line... if there is one, please advise and I will delete this post and move it over there. 😊
