My very first piece of lace was the rectangular Candle Flame Shawl, the pattern for which I obtained for free from KnitPicks. It was WAY too difficult for First Lace, but I ended up getting the hang of it and knit a gorjus shawl.
I very much want to knit another shawl -- in a gold/apricot heather alpaca lace -- but when I went to KnitPicks to download the pattern, I discovered that they no longer have it offered to the public. And I don't have it downloaded to my computer.
Does anyone have it? I would very much love a copy. I really want this pattern because the candle motif would be the perfect motif for a shawl for Norbert's bar mitzvah tutor.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have the pattern, I have the correct needles, and I have enough yarn. Now I know what my next project will be. Now I just need to finish my WIP so I can start! (Only about 4 feet left on a shawl. So I should be done in 3 weeks or so.)

Knitter's Shawls and Scarves book has a rectangular shawl with a candle motif. I have knit it twice using different weights and adjusting the stitch count.

I think I have it at home on my computer. Will look when I get back from my trip !
I just sent you a copy of the pattern. Since it was offered for free (and since I'll probably never knit it) I have no problem sharing from my hoard of patterns with you. Enjoy the knitting!
It's there . Click on the 'download free pattern link' to the right of the title.
You can still link to it off of ravelry, but i just sent you an email with the PDF attached which I have on my computer. Good Luck,
Todd
It is still on the site, just labeled as "Candle flame scarf". The pattern has both the shawl and scarf. I do have the pdf if needed.
