This is the back view of Catherine's shawl. Once it is blocked it will be 1/3 larger than it already is. You can see the lace edging is finished along the back of the shawl. I laid this out along the back of my couch on one of those fluffy blankets. It worked great in stretching the shawl out so the design would show. It will be more evident once the whole thing is finished, dampened blocked and dried :). Almost there, Lotus! whoooot!
Love your PI R Shawl..............what did you use for yarn?
ReplyDeleteI used the Knit Picks "Shadow" laceweight yarn in Campfire colorway (440 yards/50 gr balls) on a size 4 circular. I am up to 3 skeins right now and am almost into the neck selvedge lace part. So that will take me deftly into the 4th skein. I wasn't sure how much yardage to buy but now I know that 4 skeins is plenty in this weight yarn. I could even make a second one as I bought 8 skeins of yarn.
