Elderberry Gingko

shawlette too

I finished this shawlette for Amelia back in September, but wanted to get pictures of her wearing it for the post! The pattern is Gingko by Maggie Magali, knitted in Knit Picks Shimmer Hand Dyed Lace Yarn (elderberry colorway) on size 6 needles. I loved knitting this little shawlette, so fun!

Here are some outside pictures, to show off the structure a little better!

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!
