Pastoral Lace Shawl

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects
#1

I finally finished my first lace shawl! The Pastoral Lace Shawl (can be found for free on ravelry)

It was a journey to get through this - I kept messing up the stitches a little bit and completely gave up the first time I tried to knit this. But the stitches themselves are simple enough, just be really careful about counting.

Anyway, here it is on me! Sadly it’s gotten too warm to wear it much right now lol. But come fall, oh yes.

And blocking - crazy how much it stretches out.

The color of the lace is so pretty. I had no idea that blocking changed the look so much. It’s so pretty!

Thank you! This was not the most relaxing knit (too much concentration required on my part lol) but very satisfying to have done :grin:
