Knit some more lace!..
I really am addicted to lace shawls, this time I knit a lovely pattern called Summer Affair by Carol Feller. This is a surprise for my neice who is teaching in Saudi Arabia and coming home this summer to marry her fiance whom she met while teaching in UK. They will be having a summer marriage at my sisters cottage. I, of course have this lace knitting frenzy going on and thought I would make her a little lace shrug. Not to wear on her wedding day but just I guess to say that it's her wedding shrug and it's one that she can wear afterwards or maybe on her honeymoon. This from the pattern: "The delicate effect of lace weight yarn is hard to resist. However if you don't wear shawls this shrug makes a great alternative." Now who can resist that, right? I can't decide whether or not to let the bride in on this surprise before hand or just give it to her as her bridal shower. Maybe letting her in on it so that my feelings won't be hurt if she doesn't like it. After all it is her wedding, not mine! Right? Would sure value any input, with thanks.
