See it really is silver silk

I finally managed to get a good photo of this shawl. The others have shown the pattern well but this one actually shows you what the silk looks like. I am really loving this pattern. In this photo I am nearly finished with chart 1 of the 5 charts in the pattern. This chart has the most rows but it is merely the prelude to the rest of the pattern.


On the sock front I have gotten one of the boring socks up to the heel and the second one is now at the increase triangle. Hopefully by this time next week I will be working on the cuffs of both of them.

More on Queen Anne's Lace

I got a comment on my first post on this shawl from the designer. :) Since he posted the address to his yahoo group I now feel free to post it here. The pattern for Queen Anne's Lace as well as other fabulous patterns from him can be found at the Yahoo group MMarioKKnits. You can also find some of his patterns listed on Ravelry. Just use MMario for the designer name to find them.

Grin I have already added at least one of them to my queue. The beautiful Spanish Armada is now third on my list of shawls for this year.
