It is done. Nancy Bush's Lilac Leaf Shawl, from that most cherished Knitted Lace of Estonia.
Mette kinda guessed that it was Estonian...the nupps gave it away. I used a contrasting oaky kinda color for the border to offset the very very pale ballet pink.
Wish I knew why I love knitting this type of lace the most. Won't someone please lead another knitter's tour to Estonia one of these years?? Nancy??
What a shawl, it is gorgeous. The color choice of the border is perfect. I believe Estonian lace is developed over many, many years by actually knitting, perhaps that is the explanation.
ReplyDeleteIt is elegant and drapes beautifully. I like the leaf pattern. Louise
