Work-In-Progress: New lacy scarf - Day 2

Almost finished! Now I' knitting the decorative border. Wanted to go with a wider one with similar motif to the body, but I think it would look too heavy. The narrow one looks perfect!

Work-In-Progress: New lacy scarf - Day 1

While I'm waiting for the white wedding shawl to dry, I decided to start a new small project - this time a narrow lace scarf with decorative border. I'm using the same yarn I used for this stole and traditional Estonian motifs.

It's finished! The new shawl I've been working on for last 2 weeks is now officially finished :)
You can see the progress here and here.

Now it has to be blocked and shaped, photographed and listed. I hope it will find a good home really soon, because I absolutely adore it!

Work in progress - Knitted veil, Day 5

The hand knitted wedding veil grows quickly! I'm half done after 5 days and I have to say that I really love the results. I just have to find my 3mm circular needles because the straight ones are getting too short to handle all the stitches.

Work-In-Progress: a hand knitted wedding lace veil

I was inspired to start this project by one of my customers who asked for a hand-knitted veil. I've never seen one so I did my research and - WOW - knitted veils are so beautiful, airy and delicate! Just look at this one:


I was so happy to see that I still have few skeins of undyed white lace yarn that I started knitting a veil almost immediately. Here're the first 10cm of a semi-circular wedding veil I'm working on right now. I think it will look gorgeous!

New lace scarf finally finished

Finally finished & listed! I have to say I'm pretty proud of this scarf - I love the combination of the lace leaf pattern and the simple border. I think they go well together.

It took me approx. 46h of knitting to finish this scarf! It all started from my favorite yarn - 80/20 merino/angora mix, which I hand dyed using shades called Reindeer Grey and Pale Peach (lovely names, aren't they?)

Here's the scarf drying on my wall

NEW! Now you can buy a pattern for this scarf/stole
Written instructions and charts provided both for the body and the edging.
