Another Lace Project

Thanks for the kind comments about the Sampler Shawl. It will be at Cultured Purl for the next several weeks (while the class is going on) if you think you might like to tackle lace and want to take a peek at it. The thing with lace is that you never get a sense of how beautiful it's going to be until you block it and it turns into something entirely different!

I'm so pleased with how the sampler turned out that I've decided to jump right back into the deep end and design a triangular lace shawl for the fall! I've always been intrigued by the the construction of traditional English triangle shawls knit from the center top down. Shirani is getting in some exquisite Zephyr lace weight yarn that I think will be beautiful to work with. Can't wait!

Yours in knitting,

Claire
