Knitting: bride in lavender
19 kudoz

bride in lavender

Instructions

I used the stitch pattern from "Haapsalu Sall" (Rombspiraalkiri), it's an Estonian lace pattern with nupps.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Classic, Romantic, Formal / Bridal


Materials

yarn: laceweight with 62% of mohair

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Use needles that are 1-2 sizes bigger than your yarn recommends - thin thread combined with big needles create a cobweb effect. Your shawl will be light as a feather:)

And make sure you block the finished shawl - this will properly show the lace you've just knitted.

It's beautiful! I love it! LOVE IT! I have to make my best friend a bridal shawl/ wrap, too... But I don't know what I'm going to make yet... It's still up in the air. Anyways, I LOVE IT! It's so beautiful.
