Cobweb Wrap
Cobweb wrap by Gladys Amedro, aka Gemma Ord. Knit with Heirloom Knitting's Merino Lace on 2.75mm needles. Pattern purchased directly from Jamieson and Smith.
This was a pretty happy, uneventful knitting project--lovely yarn, flawless pattern, no major mishaps. Knitting the top border at the end was boring as hell, but it only lasted a few days.
So, speaking of J&S, has anyone tried their new Shetland Supreme yarn yet? It looks like Heirloom Knitting is stocking it now. My November HK order list is getting longer and longer....

Mouthwatering beautiful! One of my favorites of your finished pieces. The blue is really exquisite in that pattern. I don't think I will ever knit it, but I am very glad you did!

Lovely!
I received a sample of the J&S cobweb Supreme. It is Supreme indeed! I have ordered a cone. It should be here in a few days.

Miss Alice, it's stunning -- and you only started day before yesterday, as far as I can remember.
I need to know about Shetland Supreme...but don't we all hate J&S for dropping so many Fair Isle jumper-weight colours? Do we want to go on buying from them?

Simply lovely! It is a great piece of work. The color is enchanting. I like the shape of it. Congrats on another lovely piece.

Oh how beautiful. I just love your FO pictures. Maybe I need a dressmakers dummy. I have absolutely no way to drape my shawls when they're done and I can never seem to snag a human model or photographer. *hrm*

Oh Alice, how lovely... the blue color is wonderful.
And Heirloom Knitting is carrying Shetland Supreme??? Jeezopete.

It is gorgeous. Your knitting and the speed at which you knit lace are inspirational!

Absolutely stunning!

Fantastic work! As usual, it is stunning. You always select such great yarn and patterns and your execution is so terrific. And you also appear to knit at warp speed :-) Wonderful.
Posted by: Jane at September 24, 2007 09:00 PM
Outstanding!
Posted by: Lynne E. at September 24, 2007 10:50 PM
Another winner! And so fast!
I'm sure I keep repeating myself in your FO comments but my awe at your dedication to lace is just so huge. :)

So beautiful! You are just amazing!

Beautiful doesn't come close. I love that colour - and the lace itself is so perfectly knit! Amazing.

Oh another beauty, you really set the bar high Miss Alice, you pump out these pieces like nobody else.
It is another stunning colour, and the piece looks lovely in the colour. well done again.

the dressform really does show off the knitting most fabulously, but i miss getting to see Miss Alice wearing her finished products. you've become the phantom behind the knitting!
the shawl is amazing, and i'm not just saying that because i'm biased by the color. ;)
Posted by: jessica at September 27, 2007 11:29 AM
Wow! Another amazing creation! The blue is very stunning - and apparently a hot color this season.
Posted by: Sil at September 28, 2007 11:42 AM
Sigh. So pretty! And I just can't get over how quickly you finish these masterpieces, either.
Posted by: Beth S. at September 28, 2007 11:56 AM
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
My God! I love it!
Posted by: Jocelyne at October 1, 2007 04:14 AM
And another amazing one! Didn't you just start this??
Posted by: Lorette at October 1, 2007 08:24 PM
Oh my goodness! This is perfect! Awe-inspiring and absolutely amazing. I'm linking to it, if you don't mind!
Posted by: Faith at October 14, 2007 11:18 PM
Where did you get the pattern? I tried googling it with no success!
So beautiful!
Posted by: 5elementknitr at October 16, 2007 09:31 PM
Gorgeous! I bought this pattern after seeing yours, and I am feeling a little/lot stupid, but I don't know what the British terminology stands for...can you tell me where I might look to get a "translation"....thanks.
