Beautifully knitted and I love the colour. Two balls left, what about a Branching Out? Mind you, I don’t know what yardage your yarn is, so that might not be an option. There’s always gloves or a beaded bag to match. Whatever, I’m sure you’ll find a good use for it.

hi - just linked through from knitty.com - love Arisaig - what a great design. I plan to have one of my own very soon. Your Hopeful is VERY nice - fantastic color and the beads are a great touch!

Hello,

I’m struggling through the lace pattern for your knitty pattern,
would it be possible to publish a line by line spell out for it?

Thank you.
Jing

Hi! I’m anxious to make a stab at arisaig, and I would also love to have your modifications for hopeful. I live in the US, but I just got back from a trip to Scotland. Edinburgh was definitely my favorite, but the Isle of Skye was great too, absolutely gorgeous. You live in a wonderful country!

Love it!!
you might try knitting a pair of fingerless gloves with your leftovers. Many free patterns for mitts online. I bet they would look stunning with any leftover beads too!

terrific pattern posted to Knitty!
Thanks for the inspiration!

I’d definitely like the Hopeful modifications; I like the leaf endings. I was thinking dove grey - or black with black beads, like jet - pencil skirt, heels. Or jeans, ha.
So yes please if you’re up for writing it up.

I’d alos love to see the modifications - just started knitting & having trouble finding knitting paterns that aren’t too granny or 80’s - any suggestions on where to find funky paterns would be appreciated
