Notes

An easy pattern and a wonderful knit - a fast one too! The stripe section is relaxing and the lace-section adds interest. I love how the lace is opening up like a fan, or like a cladonia. And I love the loopy picot-edge.

I have had this pattern in my queue for over a year, and found at last the time and the right yarn to make it.
Having brought some light fingering Huldra Kamgarn from Hifa home from Norway, I had to try it out, and this pinkish gray was a perfect colour-match with the flashy pink BFL sock yarn from DyeForYarn.
Even though the Hifa-yarn is a rather soft spun 3ply and the DFY is a tightly twisted 4ply, it works out perfectly because they are almost the same weight. And I would suppose that the sheep bred is fairly similar.

The fabric is so soft and light, only 94g, and blooms after blocking.
The shawl is blocked without wires and pins.
136cm wingspan along BO edge. Depth 40cm.
