Shetland Triangle and lace

I have a hard time with lace.  I have to rip out at least 5 times before I can really get going on the project, and even then it’s hard to not make a mistake.  I hate it… and I love it.  It’s addictive.  Why do I torture myself??

But I’ve made a new discovery!  Lace looks great when done on bulky yarn.  I saw the Shetland Triangle in Eco Wool and had to have one.  It just happened we’d just got Eco Wool into Hilltop Yarn, so it was destiny.  It took me a week to finish it because, of course, it flew on my hands, and before I knew it I was giving the finished shawl a good blocking.    I loved EcoWool-  it is soft and fluffly (THICK!) and knit up beautifully.  i will be knitting with his yarn again and again and again.  I can’t wait to go back to the shop!
