This is for a family wedding. I want something pretty, lacy and classy. This pattern looks beautiful and the Fyberspates merino/silk lace is the perfect, scrumpy lusciousness with which to make it. Not cheap, admittedly but 2 skeins should be more than enough, and I hope for some left over to make some little vintage style gloves to go with it.

The 333 starting chain is long, so be prepared for rows that take quite some time.

I have worked the middle section per the pattern, but my depth is already 18” and this is going to need some serious blocking to give the open look I’m after. I have seen some projects on here that look just to big for me, so I’ve decided to frog my last repeat to see how big that is.

Frogging one repeat gives me an unblocked depth of 16”. Dilemma. One more frog or go with that?? It’s gonna grow a lot when blocked.

Ok, leaving it at 5 repeats, see where I end up .

The pattern is well written and as I don’t follow the charts without checking the words, I didn’t fall foul of the error in the inc/dec rows. It is simple and beautiful and I am full of admiration for the designer.

Once blocked my shawl is very big, even with removing a repeat. Luckily the style is meant to be draped, and this yarn does drape beautifully so I’m happy

Hope I have just enoigh yarn for some pretty little fingerless gloves….
