Thalia - A Finished Knit

Dear Fabic Stash,
I have been cheating on you, ignoring you even.  
Yep, it's the call of the yarn and the knitting needles.

The Pattern:


The Yarn:
Madelinetosh Merino Light in Gilded


Truly, this impressive shawl is a quick and easy knit; one I can recommend for beginner lace knitters.  I followed the pattern verbatim and worried endlessly about running out of yarn (weighing and calculating often) without need.



For more pictures and all the details check out my Ravelry page:



Back to fabric and quilty programming for now.

    That is beautiful! I must confess I've been cheating on my fabric with crochet. I just finished 2 shawls and I'm working on 2 others.

    I'm also knitting a shawl. Yours is beautiful! I love knitting lace. Too bad it takes us away from our fabric and quilting! Just not enough hours in the day!

    Hope you posted this in MadMay2012 in ravelry group. I think it is a kick that even knitting can work in a friendly & motivating competition. Love the pattern & Madelinetosh. Nice drape too!
