Leaf Lace Debut

I was able to get the Leaf Lace Shawl on and off the blocking board over the weekend:

 

It turned out beautifully - I just love it!

Pattern: Leaf Lace Shawl, by Evelyn A. Clark. Published by Fiber Trends. I knit the small version using the fingering weight yarn specifications.

Yarn: Elann's Peruvian Baby Cashmere in Cedar. I used 5.5 balls (137.5 grams / ~600 yds).

Needles: Addi Turbos, US6s.

Alterations: None. I knit it as specified, completing a total of twelve lace repeats.

Impressions: I loved knitting this one... as if it was not obvious because I just could not put it down after meeting the 50% goal I set for myself this month. I neglected to take pre-block measurements, but after blocking it came to 63.5" wide and 32.5" long. I am extremely happy with it :)

The baby cashmere yarn is a dream to work with. I purchased some in a tan color to make socks with in the near future. I would definitely recommend this yarn for use in a fingering weight shawl!

Wow--it's beautiful! Thanks for commenting on the yarn; I always like to know how people feel after having knit with something for a whole project.
