Really, really enjoying the pattern and the yarn. Having patterning on the WS rows isn’t nearly as intimidating as it might at first seem, and I’m finding it easy to get into a rhythm.

And it’s looking properly egg-boxy while I’m knitting it. The last couple of shawls have looked disconcertingly like actual lace even before blocking, but this yarn is springy enough that the lace is really scrunched up for now :)

I was going to make this as big as possible and use up all of the yarn, but I’ve suddenly been taken with the idea that I might make matching accessories, though a hat and mittens will be stretching it…

14” by 43” unblocked
24” by 52” when pinned. (could be stretched much further, but I think pattern looks better when not pulled too far.)
