Words just aren’t enough, so, I will just show you.
Jaali in Malabrigo Lace Sealing Wax
Three things about this knit:
1. Kitman Figeroa is a genius. I plan to knit all her shawls. This one is challenging, mentally fatiguing, it kept me awake at night and turned out exquisitely beautiful.
2. I knit this holding two strands of Malabrigo Lace together, making it as luciously soft and warm as it is beautiful.
3. Knitting a shawl from the bottom up is highly satisfying. All shawls should be made this way. The last row was 3 stitches long!
The Bookworm really wants this one. And, you know, I enjoyed knitting it so much I might be willing to knit it again. But first, I gotta get to those soakers! Only four more weeks to go before my knitting time becomes nursing time!
Omgosh I Love it! So pretty!
I am still trying to decide what to knit out of my *one* skein of Mal lace in whales road. Any suggestions?
You could do a small Jaali.
What do you want to make? A shawl? A shrug? Something for you or one of the kids? Oh, the possibilities.
(I love lace weight!)
That is amazingly beautiful! I can’t imagine ever having a need for a shawl.. but if I did.. just wow!
One doesn’t knit this for the need of a shawl, but rather the experience of knitting lace.
I have no idea what I am going to do with it, but it sure was fun to make!
Beautiful color, ingenious pattern, and excellent knitting ability all rolled into one fabulous piece. Beautiful!
I don’t know if I’d have the patience to knit one of those.
How in the heck do you leave a fainting emoticon on blog posts? That shawl is a lace knitter’s dream!!!
Thanks for sharing the info. I just might have to go hunting for some yarn. Or rather, I think I’ll buy myself some just for this project…as soon as I finish my certification classes…as a treat, of course.
BEAUTIFUL work, by the way!!!
Oh my. I just fainted.
So lovely, Shelly!
Ha! I just read the other comments. It seems many of us are losing consciousness. Perhaps you better put a disclaimer on this post! hahaha
So beautiful!
I am glad you enjoy making it!
Fab..Enjoy the fruits of all hardwork.
Oh my goodness….OH MY GOODNESS!!! It’s beautiful!
I’d love to try lace sometime… but alas…I doubt I’ll ever be able to knit this…
