Sagittaria

Since summer is here, I've started my summer ritual shawl. I cast on during my solstice ritual, but didn't really knit anything that night. I made some progress last night. It doesn't look like much yet, but I have just realized that I've really missed knitting lace.

It has been a year since I did any real lace knitting.




I knit this shawl twice last year, and they were my biggest lace projects ever.

This is the first shawl, which I made for myself (Knit Picks Shadow in Lost Lake Heather, which I think has been discontinued).

I made a second one in different yarn for my mother-in-law's birthday (Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Tide Pool Heather). I wish I had a larger picture. The pattern, if you're interested, is Vernal Equinox Shawl Surprise, and it was a knit-along.









I'll be back with updates on the new shawl as I make progress. I already know I'm going to enjoy this knit.
