Nightsongs.....

Ever since I joined Ravelry

I've got hooked on to knitting

and wanted to make something in knitted lace.

I've had this pattern faved since long.

The pattern can be found on Ravelry

 here.

I've made this shawl in 4 ply fingering weight pure wool.

.

.

I've never done this kind of a pattern

 and didn't know I would end up

 having more than 250 stitches on my needles!

How can such a mess of wool

ever look like a shawl,

let alone lace.

When i couldn't handle it any longer

on the normal length needles I bound off

This is what I got...

.

.

It's soooo pretty!!!

But instead of a shawl it's just scarf size.

Added a crochet rose on one end

and leaves on a long crochet double chain

for a tie.

Knitted up pretty fast though,

I'd cast on on Monday and bound off on Saturday.
