Ailé (and a giveaway to celebrate!)

Ailé in Schaefer Yarn's Andrea in Elena Piscopia

Introducing Ailé... this bit of bijouterie, reminiscent of wings, is written for both sport and lace weight yarns.  I designed Ailé to use up some wee little bits in your stash and get you playing with beads.  My favorite part is choosing beads and a clasp to coordinate.  Start looking in your jewelry box or local antique store for clasps.  The best clasps are ones that have been lying around just waiting to be repurposed for Ailé.

Ailé is a wonderful project to bring with you while you travel, it is unbelievably compact, easy to pick up and put down and FAST to make.  I made each of the necklaces shown in an evening! I think some special people in my life will be receiving Ailé for the holidays... time for me to do some more clasp shopping!

To celebrate the release of Ailé I've decided to do a giveaway: 

**Leave a comment by August 23rd at 5 pm and you will be entered to receive a set of kits for Ailé.  (For both the sport and lace weight versions!)    

**If you also purchase a pattern and mention that in your comment  it will count for 5 entries... greatly enhancing your chances of winning!   

**I'll be giving away two sets of kits, won't you join in the fun?

As with all my patterns, Ailé is both charted and written out and has been both test knit and test worn.  You can see details and purchase Aile on my website or on Ravelry.  Can't wait to hear what you think!
