treeskinThe next shawl doesn't have a name; it's my first original lace pattern, and I've never found a name that fits it. And it's the only thing in this set of pics that wasn't finished in the past 12 months; I just haven't been very good about geting pics taken and posted.
Again, the wool singles, and I think I used a 4 or 6 needle on this one. Square, worked from the center out. I mostly made it up as I went along--I'd started it at HPF 2004, and just knitted in whatever lace patterns I could remember. Which are, from the center out: diamond eyelets in a stockingette ground, trinity stitch, and feather and fan. Nothing complicated; certainly not as complex as it looks. And it's much more gossamer than it looks in these pics.
Because the yarn is a coned weaving yarn with the lanolin still in, it took hours to wash this thing once it was done, and two or three hours again to block it. I've worn it out and about twice, the two nights of last year's annual show. It's warmer than you'd expect something that lacy to be, and absolutely stunning over a simple black sweater.
