Two skeins of Malabrigo lace weight in Emerald Blue
US 5 Addi Turbo Lace needles & 1 US 8 tip for cast off
80 inches across the top
40 inches down the spine
Started: 08-17-08
Finished: 08-24-08
I changed the cast on to what I think of as the Evelyn A. Clark style cast on because I like how it looks and know it will always work for me
I knit 8 repeats of the second chart before moving on.
I think I may have blocked this version harder
than the one on the designer's site. Joan's looks equally well blocked as mine, so I'm in good company. And many thanks to my Joan for suggesting this pattern for the yarn in question. She really is a whiz, that Joan.
For a while there, I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough yarn. Perhaps because of what is going on with the shawl in my heartbreak box. Thankfully, this one worked out just fine. I've got several yards of the yarn left. Close, but we did it.
Better photos to come once it's at it's new home with the KnittyOtter.
Beautiful!

So beautiful. I may have to do that... after I finish a pink sweater, two shawls, a shrimp sock, a scarf, a mitt and oh... another pair of socks. Some knitting may have occured out here in the wilds of eastern texas.
