The Wedding Shawl...

Pattern: Large Rectangle in Leaf and Trellis pattern by Jane Sowerby (from Victorian Lace Today)
Final size: 66cm x 185cm (26'' x 73'')

Frantic knitting began 30th Sep and finished 18th Oct - enough time to pack it and send it to Finland. Phew... Quite nice a pattern, only problems I had was with the border pattern: just could not memorize it until three quarters of the border was knitted.

Clicky on pictures to get bigger versions!

Border almost done - reunus melkein valmis


Corner before blocking - kulma ennen blokkausta


Border close-up - lähikuva reunuksesta


Finished shawl before blocking - valmis huivi ennen blokkausta


Washed and blocked - pesty ja blokattu


Mmmm, pretty...
