Notes

PHOTOS:
finished it in Maine so I draped it over a pine tree to complement delicate lace with delicate needles :)
last pic shows my friend wearing the shawl with her new hubby at a 1930s style party! So adorable!

PATTERN/MODS:
I wanted it to look good on both sides, and I saw someone else do this on Ravelry, so I fiddled with the lace charts until I got the leaves to alternate, facing both sides! hoorah! …that’s part of the reason I had to start over so many times.
Not sure I could remember what I’ve done…although at one point I had made a chart for it on graph paper, might be able to dig that up later.
It’s a little on the small side…all of my projects end up slightly smaller than I’d like :/ I tink bc I“m so impatient/anxious to see it finished! hah

YARN
fuzzy, fluffy, dreamy…very thin and slippery, which was annoying on an already tricky lace project, but worth the final soft outcome…

COMMENTARY:
July 11
I’ve been able to work on it a bit every day, so it’s coming along nicely, but man, this takes forever!


June 23:
i’ve started this thing three different times, first time back in April 9. I finally bound off one ‘start’ and blocked it as a gauge, which was actually very encouraging! It grows so well, haha.

This is really the first all-lace project I’ve done…
