Notes

Used 933 Miyuki Delicas 8/0 DBL-1244 beads and Signature circulars with stiletto points. The Signatures are worth every little penny….

I adored every minute spent working on this shawl. Sundara’s Silk Lace is heaven made into yarn. Silk Lace feels amazing against the skin. And Kerry Milani’s pattern has been expertly designed. I’ve only been knitting for 18 months and this pattern appeared to be beyond my humble capabilities. But while knitting, I felt like Kerry was standing beside me. She included enough detailed information to coach anyone with self-doubts along with charts that are straight forward for any expert knitter. And, at one point, she quickly answered a panicked question on a weekend! Her support was so appreciated and allowed me to continue on. The finished shawl is breathtaking in it’s beauty. I highly recommend this yarn, the design and designer.
