Trinity Shawl












It may not look like much now, but it's going to be this:














when it grows up (or out, as the case may be.)










Yarn: Briar Rose Sea Pearl
Pattern: Half Square in Trinity Stitch from Victorian Lace Knitting

I really love how this stitch pattern blends the colors: primarily rose and coral, with a soupcon of green thrown in for flavor.

Earth Song Lace Vest

This pattern came from Louisa Harding's Modern Classics. I love this book because the patterns are timeless and are arranged by yarn weight. I adapted the neckline and length a bit because I plan to wear it over a crisp, white shirt (if I ever get one ironed...the dry cleaner never gets the collar right!) Anway, once I iron the shirt - I will, I promise - and get someone to snap the photo, I will post the picture.


For my next amazing feat, I will be finishing the sleeves to my 'v' neck sweater knit out of Briar Rose Legend...remember? (I know, it looks blurry)

I've also procured some of Chris' fabulous Grace. Once again, she amazes me! 60% superwash, merino, 30% bamboo, 10% nylon. I have the perfect shawl pattern chosen.
