FO: Leaf Lace Shawl

My latest obsession has been lace!  Everything lace!  I have hardly knit any socks, have only barely touched a few sweaters, and look at my stash with only potential for scarves and shawls with pretty lace patterns.  I’ve also been fine tuning my ability to spin a very fine lace weight.

So as I try to cast on for twenty new lace projects, I realized I needed something now.  It’s getting cold out there, and if my lace yarn is still on the wheel, how am I supposed to stay warm!

That’s when I realized that I had a finished lace shawl, just waiting to be blocked.  Most of you probably don’t remember seeing this before because I last posted about it in May 2007!

Blocked on the sewing board.

Pointy, pointy ends!

Leaves!  Appropriate for fall right?

This is a fiber trends pattern (ravelry here).  Very easy lace pattern.  I included beads on the edging, which I really like having in lace because it gives a little heft to the edge.

Overall, this pattern was a great success, and now I have a very wearable shawl.  Now back to the many lace projects on the needles.
