I love this shawl! This was my first lace project, and I was just enchanted with it the whole way through. It is a long project - over 600 rows - but so worth it. It took me 7 months, but I wasn’t knitting exclusively. I learned so much about knitting lace from this project, and the final shawl is elegant and classy and lovely.

I love the yarn I picked! The Knit Picks Gloss is easy to work with and a great weight for the project. The burgundy colorway is gorgeous. It took just over 6 skeins of the yarn, but if I had frogged my swatch, 6 skeins may well have been enough.

Pre-blocked size was 17x72 inches. After blocking, it grew to 24x80 inches. This is a bit bigger than the pattern (22x72), but since I used a wool/silk blend instead of 100% silk, I’m not that surprised. It’s just gorgeous.
