Like most things I ever get into..I get totally absorbed for awhile and this seems to the same for the lace knitting that I'm now obsessed with...I have finished one small shawl and I'm just waiting for my blocking boards and T-pins to arrive by mail (should be here tomorrow). In the meantime I started another one with the same pattern (I want to make sure I'm doing it right) and it's coming along wonderfully, in fact better than the first one. I'll put a picture in soon.
I've been on the search for a shawl to make with some beautiful wool I purchased today....it's a lace weight alpaca in a blue multi color and I just love it..I'll take a picture and show shortly. I found a lovely chart for free and lo and behold the person who's blog it is on is also having a yarn give-away on her blog...Check it out at http://ateliermadambutterfly.blogspot.com/2011/11/brand-new-yarn-by-brooklyn-tweed-give.html
Now back to knitting..
Edited to add some pictures as promised
Here's my new wool...I LOVE it...the colors are so pretty.. It's nice and fine
and Here's my second shawl..same as the first one, I'm just trying to perfect it...It'll look much better once it's finished, off the needles and blocked....

Thank you for participating in my blog give-away.
I would love to see your new yarn! I just got a couple more skeins of Loft yarn today. I was teaching a class on Estonian lace knitting at the local yarn store.
Happy stitches,
Lidia
I wish you were close Lidia...I'd take your class....
