Dear internet,
What do you think?
Would you knit it?
I think it's very pretty.
Lots of love,

More plotting and some test-knitting!
Thursday, 6 September 2012
This is about twice or three times as big now... nearing completion. Will be a new pattern. It seems like everyone and their dog has designed a shawl with some sort of repeating leaves, but I'm just learning how to write lace with charts so I decided to start small! I defaulted to using one of my favourite yarns Baby Alpaca Sport by Diamond Luxury. I bought three skeins... let's see how many I use!
This is my old pattern All About Love, knit out of Diamond Luxury's Lima yarn. So lovely and squishy and beautifully coloured! I thought I was going to need three balls but only ended up using 2! So I returned the third ball and bought the yarn I mentioned above for the repeating leaves shawl :)
198 yards of baby alpaca

Well, this yarn is absolutely heaven. The pattern is written well (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/198-yds-of-heaven) and it's free, which makes it even better.
I followed to pattern, but used Diamon Luxury Yarns' Baby Alpaca Sport. I cast on with 8mm needles and I didn't do the lace bind off, instead I did a couple of rows of garter stitch and then a picot bind-off.
