Lace is not Nancy’s knitting technique of choice. She’s a cable girl at heart. She totally got swept up with me in the moment.She’s at the end and working on the lace border which gets worked into the live stitches around the shawl. I have brought this to Danni twice (our resident lace guru at Westport Yarns). Finally it was set up and ready to go. I was Nan’s chief tape mover and support staff as she worked through the first chart.
She is now fudging forward because she wants to be done. It’s stunning and I’m sure it’s going to block out beautifully. It really is a gorgeous shawl and the yarn is very pretty. As far as my Ocean’s Edge Silk Shawl, the yarn and pattern are up for grabs. The colorway I have is called Petunias, a pinky/purple color. After watching/helping Nancy, I’ve decided that true laceweight yarn is not my cup of tea.




With my family weekend concluded, I now need some time to rest, and knit!
