FO:Melon Shawl

 
It was suggested that someone in this household take it easy tonight. For some reason that suggestion comes around regularly. But it helps to hear it. So...I'm (trying) to figure this blogger thing out. I got further than last time- this time there are pictures. I'm still not sure how to put them where I want them, but maybe that will come.

Anyway, the object of this post has a bit of a story behind it. A short story, but still. A year, or two, or so, ago a very dear friend presented me with the book Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby. It was one of her most brilliant ideas to date, and I decided I had to make her a shawl, which I in turn presented to her, and now, in digital form, to you.


 It's long, and blue, and beautifully drapey if I do say so myself.
I must admit though, that I didn't take the pictures...but I did ask for them to be taken, so I'm pretty sure copyright laws are not being infringed. :)

Details: Melon Shawl from VLT
Yarn: Knit Picks  Kettle Dyed laceweight (discontinued) in Altitude, almost 3 skeins
Needles: U.S. 7, Knit Picks Options
Mods: I knit the Cyprus border from the same book instead of the suggested border.
