So I decided to start another shawl. When I saw the Lehmus shawl on Rick's blog I knew it was one I would enjoy making. And because he made his using a heavier yarn than the pattern called for I knew I could use some of my Estelle Mystik DK. I've had the yarn for a while. It's some I got in a yarn stash redistribution. It's not on their site anymore so I guess it's discontinued. It's a cotton/viscose blend that's nice and shiny. It does snag if you're not careful. The color looks like gray sometimes and at other times it's a very pale teal. I have to figure out a good way to join the yarn as it's pretty slippery. There may be knots. My plan is to work a pattern repeat every day. Right now that's not so hard as there are less than a hundred stitches per row. Unfortunately most of my plans get sidetracked by other things that catch my eye. I've been adding to my Ravelry queue lately. A lot. I wound some Classic Elite Lush last night, and some Manos del Uruguay. So I can already tell that I'm going to get distracted.

That's a very pretty looking pattern.
Oh no! Now i am getting distracted.
Great color! I'm sure the photo doesn't do it justice. It does go rather quickly at first, however,
the last couple of repeats will certainly test your dedication :)
well, the fun of plans is that you aren't required to follow them through. Sometimes just begining the plan is enough - sometimes, planning itself is enough.
Certainly, that is enough beautiful lace to make anyone happy.
