Lace
I never thought I would take to lace knitting, but I do have to say I enjoyed knitting my latest project, a Shetland Triangle shawl. One caveat on the lace knitting though: only with fingering weight or heavier yarn for me.
I started this project on a long plane flight to Europe and finished it on the plane ride back home. How amazing is that for a not-so-fast knitter?
And what's not to like about another use for all that pretty sock yarn stash?
Pattern: Shetland Triangle Shawl by Evelyn Clark
Yarn: Wollmeise 100% fingering weight
Colorway: Rhabarber
Modifications: 11 repeats of body lace chart with plenty of yarn to spare

Nice job! That came out beautifully!
Beautiful!!! It looks perfect for cool summer evenings!!
So lovely. Perfect for long flight knitting. And a break from knitting in circles! (socks). Same reason I have come to lace knitting......perfect for flying.....
It's gorgeous! I'm inspired. I do have some lovely yarn that I think I need to destash. This is so pretty!
Your new shawl is so very nicely done! I guess it was worth the wait!!
