I love dark yarn but for lace I've not yet used any dark colours because I'm afraid the beautiful lace work will be obscured. It's a silly worry, of course, as I've seen lots of beautiful lace in blog-land made from dark yarn. I absolutely LOVE the feather and fan stitch, so when I saw this shawl in Meg's book I went gaga for it! What I'm afraid of though, is the tedium of plain knitting. I'm not a plain ol' stockinette or garter stitch kind of person, but the beauty of this shawl just might make me jump in and do it. I have some red lace weight that I'm itching to try. By the way, your roses are absolutely spectacular. I'm not a gardener at all, but I can see you put lots of love into your plants. The shawl is looking gorgeous.

I'm working on socks...500 stitches goes much further in that case! Ditto above - hope Eileen improves quickly! I just love that flower in the center - that makes the shawl unique.

The yarn is probably darker than I should be using with these old eyes, but it was in the stash, right weight, enough yarn for the project and money was very tight at the time. 500 stitches - actually a bit over 1000/round. My biggest, in stitch count, project so far. But, it goes by pretty fast as there are three rounds of straight stitch for each round of increases and decreases. And, surprisingly, I like doing straight stitch and I'm pretty fast at it. Yarns..

That's my next big lace project. I have a picture of it hanging on my fridge. I can't wait to start it. Just have to finish a couple of other things. Yours is looking beautiful! Thanks for the kick in the pants. Gotta go knit! This is the Feather and Fan from A Gathering of Lace, right? That’s my next big lace project. I have a picture of it hanging on my fridge.
