Started: Early June

I don't have much to say about this, except that I love lace, and that I'm rigging up some blocking wires for the next go-round! Oh, and Addi Turbos are awesome, and even though nupps are hard, they are so worth the effort.
Edited to add: I blocked the sh#! out of this shawl. Also, I wanted to say that there are a few people I know of in the knitting world who are suffering from multiple myeloma. Alot of people know of Gerry, Annie Modiesitt's husband, and I *kind of* personally know Betty. Julie is doing the York Beach Light the Night Walk to raise money for doing research to develop new treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Last year she raised $1216 dollars! Let's help her reach her goal of $1500, she's got some great prizes in the raffle, so go check it out!

Oh, wow! I actually said it out loud when the pictures popped up. That's gorgeous! I've been planning to do this one for months, but I'm not much of a lace knitter, and I'm still plodding through Icarus. It looks absolutely perfect (and I can't believe you did it in two months).
Bellisimo!
Wow that looks amazing. Beautiful job!
I really have to try mine again.
Beautiful!
I think you officially have the lace bug, too. :)
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! What more can I say about that shawl?!
Thanks for the shout out :-)

Fabulously lovely!
Oh my! How absolutely lovely! :)
Wow! Beautiful!!!
This is beautiful Bea. I think there is something about this shawl in lighter colors that really makes it pop. It's gorgeous. Good job on the knitting (and the blocking).
So, so pretty. Mind if I link? Of course you don't, you're that lovely.
Usually when I go back to a page expecting a new post and it's something I've already read, I get slightly disappointed- not this time! I still love this so much!
Oh goodness, that's beautiful! Knitting with alpaca was great, wasn't it? And then you go back to regular wool and it feels sooo scratchy.

I'm not sure which is prettier - your lace or your pictures!
