Sophiedoz dyed a dark batch of Nymphe she posted on her blog. This is my all-time-favorite-colour. A beautiful turquoise with subtle variations. I just knew I had to knit this.

Lothlorien is J.R.R.Tolkiens wood of elfes. What could be more appropriate than introducing a nymphe ?

CO early the morning - photos suffering from bad morning light taken with my mobile - impossible to catch the beautiful colour! It says more about a perfect saturday morning :).

Pattern says yarn requerments are 437 yrds, but most of the FO used about 360yrd, so hopefully, 1 skein will suffice. Going down one needle-size on WS-rows because my purl-stitches are looser than my knit-stitches.

I had 15g left of skein. The pattern is well written and clear. The only thing I did not like, was the p2tbl which slowed down the last few rows considerably, but otherwise, I loved to knit this shawl! The lace is beautiful on both sides, which amazes me! The lace-section is not difficult, but requires some concentration, although I sometimes could knit this while doing some small-talk. But not on all rows :).

The yarn is incredible. It is like knitting butter. I love it!After blocking, it became even softer as before, and is light as feather. The colour is stunning, and it is almost no pooling, just shades here and there.

Nice pictures of the FO will come when the temperature sinks below 30 degrees celsius.
