I've been slowly knitting away at the Mediterranean Lace Shawl over the last eight months! It's my on- the-go project - I finally got it blocked, finished, photographed and I just love it. I can't help but feel a real sense of accomplishment as this is my first cobweb weight shawl project.

| Blocking |
This design is by Maureen Egan Emlet, published in 'A Gathering of Lace' by Meg Swansen.
Used approximately 2,500 metres ( 7 balls and a small amount of another ) of cobweb lace yarn in Natural by Jamieson and Smith. The back measures at 35" width x 28" deep, and each front panel - 29" length x 20" width, borders included.
It has a few really complicated rows but each and every stitch was so worth it at the end.
Love the soft and feminine look...

I have to admit, I'm not really a shawl-wearing person, and making this was more about wanting to knit it than wanting to wear it. But now that it's done, I'm looking forward to wearing this on cool evenings on the beach and places where I normally wear my pashminas i.e. cinemas!
Hope you'll have a lovely week ahead!
Not only are you a very talented sewer, now you can knit too!!! Your shawl looks amazing and I'm sure it will come handy when you go to the movies next time. Otherwise there's really not that much need for things like that here, is there? Something I really miss ;(.!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shawl! It's just lovely! I had no idea what a wonderful knitter you are! Many women wear them here in the cool weather. They sort of loosely tie them in front and wear them casually. I have made one but not worn it yet. I hope to wear it this fall. If it ever cools down! Such a great shawl! You should be proud!!
