I remember at a minute where I didn't want to knit so I started a new project in hopes of bringing me back to the knitting fore front and I think I have surpassed that!

I had a good time knitting this shawl. My first lace shawl and I am addicted! Just like when I started knitting socks, I was mesmerized by how quickly they knit up and how comfy and beautiful they are when done.

The pattern called for US 6 needles and only 10 repeats of the pattern. I used US 5s and made 12 repeats. I wanted it a little less airy than it appears in the book so that is why I went down a needle size. I increased the number of repeats in order to keep the shawl the same size. It came out a tad smaller than what the pattern said (54"x24") but it works for me.

I would wear it more like a scarf than a shawl. I am planning on making a bigger shawl (I have already pre-ordered the pattern and yarn) so I don't mind that this one is a bit on the smallish side. What the hell am I talking about! Its a gift for my mom so I don't get to wear it at all! I love it though so I know it will be well received.

BYE SHAWL!

P.S. Right after I finished blocking my shawl the yarn for my next LACE project had just been delivered! Oooooooooooh I luuuuuuurve it!
