Update, May 2nd 2016 Thank you to everyone who supported my sale. I rounded up and donated 100 $ to Four Paws Switzerland!

In June 2015, my Ravelry group turned one year old. To celebrate, I let the group members decide on the elements of this shawl. It contains Japanese and German lace, texture and beads. As the anniversary of the group falls together with my cat’s birthday, I’ve decided to call the shawl Lena’s Shawl.
You can choose between a Faroese shawl or a triangle with a little bit of shoulder shaping to help it stay put.
Charted as well as written instructions are offered.
Many thanks go to my tech editor cupani and my test knitter pinhappy.

Size:
Faroese: 180 cm 71’’ wingspan, 80 cm 31.5’’ deep
Triangle: 165 cm 65.25’’ wingspan, 80 cm 31.5’’ deep

(Gauge is not vital for this project, but it will affect the size of the FO and yardage.)
