Absolutely gorgeous! I’m still working on my first-ever lace shawl. I can only hope it looks as good after blocking as this one! I’m sure your MIL will love it to pieces.

It’s gorgeous! I know what you mean about feeling the weight of a shawl around you. I still like the laceweight feel, but that’s because I live in such a temperate climate.

It’s lovely! I’m sure she’ll like it. I do know what you mean about wanting a little heft to your knits. I ended up deciding to restart my blue laceweight alpaca, again doing FFL, but this time with the yarn doubled. I think it’s going to be just about the perfect weight.

Well, it’s just lovely, and I love the metamorphasis.

What did you soak it in?
