Vive la Différence!loom knitted airy lace with individualityPATTERN ONLYPretty, lightweight, airy reversible, open lace stitching, coupled with an easy to remember adaptable pattern makes this the perfect personalised lacy loom knitted project. Vive la Différence is perfect for the cool breeze during the spring and autumn or to wear under your coat for some warmth during colder months. Double the pattern for a beautiful shawl to wrap around your shoulders for a special occasion or night out. Loom knit with glitter sparkle handspun yarn for added glamour, self striping for a new dimension or sumptuous light mohair for a touch of sheer luxuryThe possibilities for individual variations are endless for this one, no two will ever be exactly the same (unless you knit them that way of course) which for me, makes this a very exciting project to createTools1/2 inch reg gauge loom min of 50 pegs for a scarf or 100 pegs for shawl(51 peg 1/2 inch gauge round loom from CinDwood Crafts was used in the example shown) loom hooksewing needle to weave in any endsYarn

During knitting the stitches become scrunched up but once blocked the whole thing takes on a whole new lease of lifeThe three panels can be knit in any order you like, rearrange and repeat in different ways to create an individual look and feel for your projectFor more loom knitting patterns please see My Heart Exposedthis pattern is being hosted by three loom knitting groups during May 2011
