Hearth Keeper Debbie, November 28, 2019November 16, 2023 This crescent shawl was inspired by a family name. When researching our family tree, I found that the translation for Heitkamperwas “keepers of the hearth.” My grandparents, Edward and Katherine Heitkamper, were living examples of what love is, and they kept thehome-fires burning. The edge of the shawl is aflame, but it is intendedto wrap around you like an embrace from a loved one. The shawl is worked from the neck down in garter stitch with increasesworked near the edges on right side rows. The flame lace border is knitted on and serves as a bind off for the live stitches. This part requires attention at first, as the stitch counts change, but as you work it becomes intuitive quickly. Sample was knit with one skein of Miss Babs Yowza in colorway Wanna Go Crazy. Thanks to Miss Babs for use of the lovely photo and for being great to work with.
