Mom's B-Day Lace Shawl



Here is the lace shawl from VLT that I made for my mom's b-day. I'm a little behind schedule, but at least it is blocking now. Evidently, I made an inadvertent mini mobius strip on one of the short edges with the knit-on edging, but it's centered enough to appear as a sort of design element (at least that's what I'm telling myself!).

So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!
