my first lace shawl

my first lace shawl

Knit Picks Shadow (Jay) on size 6 needles. It's a half-circle, roughly five feet in diameter. This is the first lace shawl I've knitted, and of course I had to challenge myself with a complicated pattern! It looks tough, but really, I just followed the lace charts and wound up with this beauty. I love it. Took me two months of knitting (not every day) and only cost about $4 in materials!
