I just can’t say enough about this yarn! It truly is to die for! It may seem a little limp and splitty out of the skein, but even as you’re working it through your fingers, it begins to bloom. Soak and wash it clean and it blooms amazingly soft and light!
*****************************
Swatched with #6 needles, soaked/dried, gauge too loose (22 sts). Will try next with #5 needles.

Boy, this base has such wonderful bloom! Gauge with #5 needles is a bit tighter (25 sts), but I’m going with the 5s as I always loosen up a bit after I get going.

And we’re off! I’m so excited about how this shawl is constructed. The instructions are very detailed and it’s a lot of fun knitting a shawl in a different way (for me, anyway!).

Section B complete!

5/19
Done with the Lacewing hem section! (Started skein #3 on row 22.) This section can be a little fussy with the double YOs, but having a needle with a nice sharp point really helped (my go-to for this is Addi lace needles). Although it seemed to look sloppy as I knitted each row, the finished section looks really cool!

Starting on the edging…

5/24
First half of the edging is done. Made it to the middle!
Now, onto the second half. This part of the pattern is going relatively quickly and I’m really enjoying the rhythm of it.

5/25
Halfway through the second half of the knitted-on edging!

5/26
Second half of edging is done and the ends are grafted together! Tomorrow, we head to a bath and blocking.

5/27
Blocking complete. Almost ran out of pins! It blocked out to 29” deep with a wingspan of 77.5” (wet).
I just love the little lacewings flying around the edges
