Kiri Shawl (2006)

Pattern: Kiri, from here, on All Tangled Up
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Helen's Lace, Ravenswood colourway
Method: Handknit
Completed: April 2, 2006.

A triangular shawl in honest-to-goodness laceweight yarn. I probably didn't block it quite aggressively enough, at least to get the points to stand out. Weighing in at about 3oz (800 yds of silk/wool), it folds up very small to carry in a purse, and is still useful to add a layer of warmth when needed.

As I was knitting this, there was a discussion somewhere about knitting lace in variegated yarns, and how it didn't work well with the pattern, particularly if it was a _dark_ variegated colourway... well, I'm happy enough with this that I think I'd do it again!
