My excuse

I didn't take any photos yesterday so I didn't post or comment. This was the reason. I was getting the hand of the lace stitches for this new project. A shawl knit with fine weight yarn made out of 100% mulberry silk. Luscious!

That looks beautiful and very delicate

That looks so intricate and pretty. It reminds me of the family christening shawl that has been in the family for many years.

@casablanca Thank you. I'm hoping it will serve two purposes. 1 - something warm around my shoulders and upper arms. 2 - something that will pack up very small. I have high hopes for both
@wakelys Thank you Sue. Yes it could be a christening shawl. But not many christenings going on around here these days. Too bad. I hope that when I die someone will get it and appreciate it.
@grammyn Thanks Katy.
@dkbarnett Thank you Delwyn.
@shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie. As knitting goes, it's actually not too complicated. Just very fine yarn and the number of stitches grows every other row.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond It's fine and soft. Picks on my rough old hands and nails. *sigh* You will see it whether it's finished or not.
@joemuli Thank you.
@corinnec Thanks so much Corinne
@olivetreeann Thanks so much Ann.
@aikiuser Thank you Jenn.
@kjarn Thank you Kathy. Relatively easy knitting except for the fine yarn and increasing number of stitches.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
