Lovely pattern! This was my first real lace project, and it was really easy to follow and very satisfying indeed.

NB: First two photos are by Sayher Heffernan - http://www.sayherheffernan.com/. Bottom two photos show unblocked shawl. The first photo is probably more accurate re: colour - it’s a soft blue-grey, with just a hint of purple-ness. Very nice!

Blocked and ready to wear, a week before the wedding! I have surprised myself. I love this shawl!

Mods:

• Added extra repeats of the knotted openwork and one full section of the ridged eyelets. (see note below)
• In the ruffle edge section, I only kfb every second stitch, for a less ruffly effect.

Notes:
After adding the extra section of ridged eyelets before the ruffle edge, I ended up with too many rows of stockinette before the kfb of the ruffle edge. I should have checked more carefully how the end of the ridged eyelet section matched with the start of the ruffle edge section - I ended up ripping back a couple of rows and doing 2 rows less of stockinette at the start of the ruffle edge.

Needles:
Started off with 4.5mm needle but went up to 5mm (although recommended size for this yarn is 4mm) because I want it to be quite loose and open, like in the pattern photos.
