lace





The Estonian lace summer shawl from Nancy Bush's book is coming along! It's not my handspun (wasn't adventurous enough for that yet, having never knit anything so complicated) but it's all laceweight tussah silk, so I might try to bundle-dye it once it's finished. Silk takes dye so beautifully that it's not likely to hurt anything. Although I will probably give it to mum, who prefers very soft neutral colours, when (if) she departs from her black.

    This really is soo beautiful! Personally I just love the creamy colour, but it would also be interesting to see it in colour!
