A while ago, we held a Lace KAL in the TUT Ravelry Group and I wrote about my choice to knit the Crocus Shawl, a pretty big lace challenge for me. The Crocus Shawl
is designed by by Hiroko Folkmann Drost and is an
Estonian Lace inspired shawl which I initially found very intimidating
despite its beauty.
I think I must have underestimated my skill level as I loved working on this project and really enjoyed the whole experience. I worked this up in Heavenly Cobweb,
the new base that I think worked really well on such an intricate lace pattern. It is supremely soft
and the end result is breathtaking.
I had a huge sense of accomplishment once I finished this shawl as it was by far the most complicated knit I had ever completed. Having now finished it, I feel completely invincible and feel I can take on more challenging knits in the future. I've already worn it a lot as I'm so proud of the end result.
What finished item are you most proud of?
It sounds like a gorgeous shawl! 100% cashmere makes me nervous, but now I am so tempted...
ReplyDeleteI think I am most proud of the crochet cowl I made with Kidsilk Lace. Mainly for how I started and finished it with no stopping to work on other projects - it's extremely rare for that to happen :)
