I have finished Icarus. She/he(?) is blocking right now.
I know the center line is crooked, I fixed it just after I took the photo.
This is for my mom, whose birthday is in two days. I hope that I can get it dry and into the mail (overnight) tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be a day or two late.
I stayed up until 1:30 last night working on this. I finally went to bed when I was halfway done casting off. Then I picked it back up this morning – the casting off went so much faster when I was awake and could focus!
I was really unsure of whether the mohair would look good in this pattern, since it is so fuzzy. But it does. I am still in awe that I was able to create this shawl. I had never knit lace before, and now I am hooked. I am even more in awe of Miriam who designed this shawl! It is an amazing creation.
I have gotten about 4 books from the library on knitting lace and I can’t wait to do more. I plan to do a pair of socks for my oldest DD that will incorporate some lace next.
Thanks Catie! I’m glad you liked it! Your turned out lovely!
Hi Catie! I found your blog from Miriam’s. Very pretty shawl — I’m sure your mom loves it!
As a mother of 3 myself, I can promise you that the *free* time to knit does increase somewhat as they get a bit older. (Mine are 6,8,& 12)
