Lace Wings

In spite of a relatively long silence, I was busy getting some knitting done -- I just kept running out of time to blog about it or daylight hours to take pictures in. I hate watching it get dark at 5 pm. The first finished project of the holiday weekend was my cashmere lace scarf.

Lace Wings Blocking

I probably should have blocked it into more of a triangle, but it really wanted to be wings, so I pinned it with a little curve in it's tips. Amazing how lace can go from a small raggy object to something large and elegant. Now you can really actually see what the lace pattern looks like!

Up Close and Personal with Roman Stripe

Pretty, without being fussy.

It's long since been released from my blocking board, but the rainy miserable weather in Chicago has made it hard to get an action shot.

I've had a number of people ask after this pattern -- it's not my pattern, so I can't really give out the details on the internet, but the Roman Stripe lace can be found in Barbara Walker's Second Treasury. If you want the pattern (and the cashmere to go with it) you'll probably have to contact Hunt Valley Cashmere directly as the two were sold together as a kit.
