Lace ribbon shawl
Tuesday, 30 September, 2008
Something else I finished just in time for How Sweet the Sound: a shawl but with a lace pattern. I used the pattern from this lace ribbon scarf (which I had knitted for Bec earlier this year). The pattern is by Véronik Avery. But I did it on 15 mm needles with less pattern repeats. Here's the shawl unblocked:

That’s really lovely - so vibrant and ethereal.
Thanks Kathleen!
This is really lovely, Karen. I’m always in awe of people who can knit: it’s always been beyond me. This is just gorgeous.
