Sorry, I didn't dress up for this one! I must say that the bright tshirt helps to show it off thought!
Here is the back and wearing it as a scarf. Under or over a coat is just gorgeous!
Started: April 21, 2006
Finished: April 29, 2006
Yarn: Regia Silk...of course.
Pattern: Sheltland Lace Shawl from Wrapstyle.
Adjustments: Well, I didn't follow the number of repeats, I just went with wanting to use 2 balls of regia...we all know how that worked out. The size is perfect I think. I don't really know how they made the edge so pointy...well I don't really like the dramatically pointy points! So my points are a little more subdued.
Notice the scrabble in the background...thanks so much for the challenging words;)
gorgeousness
fantasmagorically incredulous

and my favourite...
"quoxzak" yeah - It's a seven letter knitting term. It means "to wait patiently while a shawl dries." from purl needlemeyer. I think I figured around 122 pts for that baby!

You did a lovely job on your scarf/shawl!
Love it, Love it, Love it. I need to get into more lace projects. And that silk, yummy!
Very lovely! Nice job.
Absolutely Beeyoootimous! Lace just always amazes me. I have a 4 & 7 year old and don't have the brain cells to do lace. Or at least that's my excuse!!
Beautiful! Love the white -- so summery! I'm working on the Flower Basket Shawl (which looks almost identical to the shawl you finished) but I'm adding to it to make it substantially larger, which as you know takes FOREVER.... but I know it will be beautiful when it's finished.
Wow that is absolutely gorgeous! You are just whipping things out aren't you?!
I think the white is a perfect color for a light summer cover.
What a wonderful project. You look marvelous!
Both of your shawls look so pretty! How on earth can you knit them that fast?
Absolutely beautiful! Some worry about white shawls looking like doilies, and this one is proof that they look stunning!!! Regia Silk - Carolyn's new favorite?
Gorgeous! I need to take the plunge and knit a shawl!
So pretty! I'd insert a swear word in there because it really is that gorgeous, but you know, go to keep it clean.
It looks beautiful! Your work is so inspiring. Last year when I saw your Ene's scarf I decided I had to make it. Now I have the book, I only need the yarn. Congratulations, you look so elegant!
I am going into Amazing Lace and was considering that project - yours looks beautiful - so glad you enjoyed it!
