You knew there had to be a next project, right? Ta-da! Presenting the “Icelandic Lace Shawl” from Piecework Magazine, I think the Jul/Aug ’96 issue. Only, I’m doing it in spring colors instead of the natural wool colors it calls for.
I was even almost well-enough behaved to wait until I was done with the flower sweaters…I only cast on and did the first couple of rows before finishing up the embroidery and buttons on the sweaters… You can see the first bits of it on the needles – I’ve actually managed to add quite a bit to that since I took the picture. It’s going a lot faster than I’d expected, considering I had to cast on 339 stitches (I’m not even going to tell you how many times I had to count them – wait, was that stitch 267 or 276…?)
