Blue skies
The cobweb wrap has moved very quickly--I just started picking up stitches for the top border last night.
The back panel.
Detail of leaf diamond.
As Laritza noted, this shawl is Faroese-esque (but without any shoulder shaping). I'm really liking this construction and am tossing around a few ideas for creating a shawl in Estonian lace motifs from Ptsilised Koekirjad, based on Myrna Stahman's top-down construction method. We'll see....

It is so beautiful! I can't wait to see it finished. The blue is so bright and lovely.

Oh I love that blue! It's coming along so beautifully. I can't wait to see it in all its glory.

Wow, Alice, that is stunning! I am glad to see my yarn found a happy home!

Your Spring Shawl is a masterpiece.
I would like to knit lace garments for myself.
I have Meg's "A Gathering of Lace." Do you know of any other books on this subject?

Gasping for breath, it's so beautiful.

This shawl is quite beautiful and it sounds really pleasant to knit. The color is fantastic. I would love to see a pattern with Estonian knitting in it. I will cross my fingers.

wow, the colour is fantastic and really emphasises the stitches, it's going to look stunning when done. I look forward to seeing your own design; I have that book and there's some lovely motifs in there....

It's funny how our opinions and experiences on yarns can vary so much... but very fortuitous in this case as I love the blue and the yarn looks perfect for the pattern.

Sigh. That is gorgeous! The yarn is perfect--your stitches look just right, not too open, not too dense.

Mmm...Beautiful lace ! Especially with your yarn colour choices. Truly inspirational !
Where in the world did you obtain the snakey head pins you use to stretch your lace please ?
