Forest in a flash!
I've deliberated over what to make next for a couple of days after finishing wicked, and eventually after chatting to jeanette who suggested I try lace, I cast on for the forest canopy shawl last night. It's off the needles and blocking,(unblocked piccie above) I can't believe how quick it was to make, about 5-6 hours of knitting. It's my first proper lace project, and never has blocking been so amazing! I know everybody says it but I think it has to be witnessed in person to see the transformation that occurs when you block lace!
I've already downloaded Spring things shawl and I think I may cast on for that this week aswell!!!!!
I think I may have found a new addiction:-)
Finished photos to follow as soon as its dry!

Terri it is beautiful even before blocking! :)
Very gorgeous, made in just 5-6 hours, that would take me weeks!
That's beautiful :D It is very quick, and I love it for that, hehe.
By the way, what's that yarn Terri? And I hadn't seen that other shawl pattern, think that might have to be put on my list.
It's handmaiden seasilk nanatoo, lovely to work with:-)
that's very gorgeous indeed. And it would take me at least a month to do!!
That is gorgeous, so delicate :-)I've added silk to my list of yarns to make this in next!
Wow, it's gorgeous in that yarn!
Stunning! Once again, I'm in awe of your speedy needles!
Thanks for that Terri. It's so lovely.
