This is going to become a theme, I think.  And maybe I’ll get these out of the way first to make it look a little less flaky.

My friend Melissa asked for a shawl.  I had a ball of Knitpicks Shadow in the Jewels colorway, and it’s a fantastic yarn and color, so I grabbed the Kiri pattern.

Two years ago.  See what I mean about the theme?

I’m only a couple of repeats into this, but it’s knitting up wonderfully.  I may use it for the State Fair next year and actually enter the Lacework competition.  The yarn and color are more than just visually beautiful; they actually knit fantastically, too.  No splitting, no tangling, the color is bright enough to be able to see the pattern and variegation without direct sunlight but still dark enough to seem heavier than it actually is.  I’m looking very forward to finishing this project; I just hope that they didn’t lie and that one skein of this goes as far as they say it will.
