Notes

Need to add more of Mr Foley’s patterns to my queue ~ this one was a blast!
___________________________________________
Lorna’s Lace is near the top of my list for lace yarn ~ no fuzz ~ gorgeous colors ~ just enough give to make the stitches easy but not so much that it loses it’s shape ~ I’ll definitely use this again for a big lace project

9-1-2010 - blocked to 18” x 66 1/2” (did 4 repeats chart A & chart C instead of the suggested 6 to make mine a little shorter ~ it’s still big and lovely!)
___________________________________________

3-28-10 - halfway done - now really wish I hadn’t put this down for so long - it’s a really fun knit and I can’t wait to wear it! (unblocked measures 34cm wide & 59cm long at halfway mark of my shortened version)


3-25-10 - finished chart A ~ did 4 of the 6 repeats to make this 6+ft finished shawl more proportionate to my 5’2” body ~ I’m learning that even the size of shawls matter & I’m planning on wearing this one!!!!!


3-24-10 - not sure why this sat for so long ~ got caught up in holiday knitting and a few kal’s but I’m back in business with this project ~ it’s a breeze now after doing the Snow Queen! I forgot how much I loved this pattern ~ and the yarn!!


Cold Mountain ~ the movie, the book, the soundtrack and now the pattern are all among my favorites ;) ~ watched the movie for the umpteenth time while I finished this up ~ great movie & music!
