Lace Stole

This is the Fine Lace Stole from Shetland Lace by Gladys Amedro. It is a very pretty light green, but this seems to be a colour the camera cannot cope with.

I knitted it a good many years ago in a very fine silk and cashmere yarn. It includes my two favourite lace patterns (shown above and below).

My one quibble with it is that the yarn I used was too fine so it is whisper light - to the point of providing no warmth whatsoever! If I was going to make it now I would use a slightly less fine yarn, with more cashmere in it. As it is, it is very pretty but too fragile for practical use.
