Pattern: Lehe Square Shawl by Nancy Bush
Yarn: Austermann Kid Silk
Needles: 4 mm
I've had the book Knitted Lace of Estonia in my bookshelf already for a while. But although the shawls are really beautiful and inspiring, this was still my first project from it. And I LOVE it!
Too bad it's not for me! This was actually a combined wedding present and a farewell gift for a colleague that's moving abroad for a couple of years. She chose the yarn and colour herself.
It took me over a year to finish it because I actually got a bit tired of knitting the center part of the shawl. But once I was getting closer to the finish line I found my inspiration again and knitted the last third in only a couple of weeks.
I have to say it feels absolutely wonderful to finish something after such a long time!
Helt otroligt fin! Jag kan nog förstå att det var ett jobbigt projekt.

Tack! Inte var det väl egentligen så jobbigt, främst tidskrävande :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!!! Somehow it's always the centre panel that tests the nerves and endurance!
ReplyDeleteA-L: Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteBerenike: I know!! The center part just feels so much bigger than the lace edging, even though the difference isn't really that big in the end.
