Lace shawlette

…is this shawlette for my friend Rachel on her wedding day.   Finding a wedding dress that is not strapless can be a chore these days, and since she found one that was perfect except for that detail… a knitted shawl was in order.

Knitted lace shawlette-blocking
This is one of the reasons why I have barely been here lately.  Even though it is a simple, small piece of lace, it has been knitted over many days on stolen time on the train, at staff meetings, waiting rooms…  I don't think I have had more than one real block of knitting time for it.   And the fact that I was totally improvising kind of added to the "last minuteness" of it all (she's getting married next Saturday!).

 But thankfully it is done and blocking, ready to go in the mail tomorrow morning to meet her in New Mexico.  Once I have wedding photos I will post the details.
