Knit Picks Gloss in Winter Night 70% Merino Wool 30% Silk

What was your inspiration?

This Craftsy course and Laura Nelkin were my inspiration, very good course and excellent teacher!!

What are you most proud of?

I'm just proud in general this my first lace project!! I'm definitely going to be working on more shawls, maybe with beads!! Sorry these pictures aren't the greatest quality.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't get discouraged when you have to rip back, use lots of lifelines (I had like a billion) and be patient with yourself. When I got tired or discouraged I would put it away for a little while and come back, just make sure you know exactly where to start again. Don't give up and eventually you will have a finished shawl yay!!

What a super color! Have you had a chance to wear your Skywalker yet? I love Knitpicks Gloss because it's so soft. Enjoy!
