[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Lace shawl

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Deb.
It has both charts and written instructions, so it was fine.
There are 5 charts/patterns, which the designer says to mix any way you
fancy, so I did a couple repeats of flowers, then a couple leaves, then did
that whole sequence again, and finished with the last pattern, or as much of
it as I had yarn for.
The only stitch I didn't like much was the slip 1, knit 2 together, then
pass the slip stitch over, but I found a way to deal with that pesky
pass-over stitch.
Tracy

ZhHi Tracy,

I'm picturing you in that beautiful shawl, too, and I bet you'll get lots of
compliments on it.

I may have to brave Ravelry and get it!  Are there charts in it?

Thanks,

Deb B.

I've finished my lace shawl, and it's spread out on the blocking pads.

It's made of a cotton fingering yarn that shades from dark grey at the
beginning, to dark plum, into red at the end.

The pattern is called Blossomleaf, and it's on Ravelry for around $5, I
think.  I bought the little book of patterns.  It has little flowers,
leaves, and a kind of petal pattern at the finished edge. It took a whole
skein of yarn, but it's very light.

It came out very long, so long that I can tie the ends a bit when I have it
on.

I'm picturing myself wearing my beautiful light summer shawl on some lovely
summer evening, dining out at our favorite Italian restaurant.

Now to wait for it to dry out and stop taking up space spread out at the
side of my living room.  I can see why some people pay to have someone else
do the blocking.

Tracy
