SPRACHE: ENGLISH

Many knitters have a favourite yarn weight and I have to tell you, lace is not my favourite one. However, the light and airy look of lace shawls has always fascinated me so I decided to try my hands and design one. I really enjoyed the process, designing and knitting the shawl as well (despite not really being a “lace girl” as I said). And the best part: blocking turns the somewhat unruly fabric coming off your needles into sheer beauty. This shawl is perfect for dress-up occasions but can also make an average day very special.
