Three Scape

This is my third try at the Seascape shawl. The first one was started in Malabrigo lace, and it actually started felting in my hands as I knit. My second try was halfhearted in Zephyr laceweight in a color that I just wasn't feeling. This third attempt is in Louet KidLin, and I love the yarn, the color, the sheen, the halo...I keep stopping to pet the soft & pretty yarn as I knit. And yet I am making decent progress, just over two weeks and I'm more than halfway. I entertained the notion that I could finish it in time for a party this weekend, but that was a long shot.





And in just for the heck of it, I was going through some of my vintage patterns the other day, and I noticed something that never caught my eye before. See what's on the cover of this Workbasket? It's the original Hemlock Doily Pattern that was the inspiration for Brooklyntweed's Hemlock Blanket.
