Spring Shawl border, part 2

ss1-106.1.jpg

This was taken around border row 106--I'm currently at 116 of 150. I'm kind of liking this not-taking-six-months-to-finish pace.

My summer classes are over next week (yay!), but I have a final project, a final exam, and a few other miscellaneous things to get through in the meantime (ugh.). My brain is ready for a nap.

Since I don't have anything especially scintillating to say (see brain napping statement above), how about we go look at some pretty laces out there in the internets?

Ingrid has a new blog called rabbitIng, which is off to an auspicious start with some lovely photos of her completed Wedding Ring Shawl and Rosebud Shawl.

Jane of Lacefreak fame is knititng a beautiful doily on 0000s. Check out that perfect cast on. Sigh.

LittleBerry is experimenting with lace design. Pretty pretty lozenges!

And lastly, though this may be old news for some of you, I have to point out this fabulous slideshow for Lacis Museum's new knitted lace exhibit, which I first discovered through Laritza's blog. Oh my. Excuse me while I go stare at the pretty pictures for a while....

Wow. That's gorgeous. And makes me hanker for lace knitting.

It's just beautiful and I really like the colour.

it's stunning I especially like the 'beads' in the centre of the diamonds, they're so eye-catching....

Breathtaking!You deserve a little nap after all that.

It looks wonderful! I was wondering, as I looked through your recent posts, how you decide if you've got the right guage for a lace piece. Do you go by the look of the YOs or by the density of the solid regions?

Well come out to Berkeley to see the exhibit! It's only about 45 minutes from my house...nudge wink.

Your work is so beautiful! I have to get myself into knitting lace in a different color than white and off-white! My lace work is color less!

Your blog is wonderful. Inspiring for someone new to Lace Knitting. Looking through your archive I came across the Shetland Strawberry Motif. Can you please advise the source of the pattern I'd really like to try it. Thank you
