The Aeolian lace shawl for my best friend at times of illness

The Aeolian lace shawl for my best friend at times of illness

Pattern source: http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring09/KSPATTaeolian.php

Yarn: 2/30s superfine merino yarn from my stash

Beads: size 10 and size 9 glass beads, also from my stash

Total weight of full size shawl: around 75 grams, of which 50 % beads.

Knitted on a 3.25 mm Addi Lace circular lace knitting needle.

Happy owner: My best friend, who first lost her husband and then got lung cancer.

I enjoyed very much knitting this shawl, and got to practise making of nupps.

Here it’s being blocked, doubled, since there was too little room to block it in one layer.

double blocking due to too little space available
