My fourth Vintage Bouquet! Although this was a project to keep my hands and mind busy during a very difficult time I can truthfully say it was as much a delight as the last three to knit. I decided not to continue with the Sweet Violet Juno yarn for the lace border as I thought a soft pink would balance the whole shawl out better and would highlight better the smudges of pink in the Koigu stripes.

Apricot-coloured hair? Yes, it’s a first for me!
