Arcadia Lace Shawl

Arcadia is finished. This is #2 of lace patterns out of The Sock Report I chose to knit. Need I say more...Thanks for the beautiful and clever design, Janel Laidman. It's been soaked and will be blocked later when I get home. When unstretched, it's 60" by 11". Not sure I really want to block hard as I love the "texture" in the flowers. I just love this delicate merino Filigran-singles shawlette. ♥¸.°´° ♥.¸¸.•°´°▪♥ღ

 

It would have been a one-day job if I didn't forget to "twist" the back stitches where charted. My brain was at outer space. So instead of ripping out 10 rows of those ribbed columns (72 total/each row,) I fixed 'em as I went with crochet hook--dropped down stitches, twisted, and hooked 'em back up. It would have been much quicker to just undo those rows!!!! I seem to like to do things the hard way lol

 

Next one will be Cassian but in what?? Handspun? Or commercial luscious yarn?
