Shawl for Grandma/Szal dla Babci























Dzisiaj krotko (bo upal diabelny, wiec i myslec trudno).
Wczoraj skonczylam szal dla babci. Ma ok. 43cm x 170cm.
Dosyc latwy i szybki w wykonaniu, oprocz falbanki, ktorej zdawalo sie, ze nigdy nie skoncze. 

Wloczka: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport Solid - Natural, welna Merino Superwash, 5 motkow (70 g/motek). Troszke oporna w blokowaniu - rozciaga sie jak glupia na mokro, ale jak wysycha, to sie z powrotem troche kurczy.
Ogolem: Dziergalo sie bardzo przyjemnie - wzor jest ciekawy i wloczka mieciusienka.






















Today I'll keep it short and sweet (it's too hot and humid for anything else).
Yesterday, I finished a stole for my Grandma. It's approximately 17" by 71" in size.
It was relatively easy and quick to knit, except the edging, which I thought would take forever.

Pattern: Love the Earth Lace Wrap
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport Solid - Natural, Superwash Merino wool, 5 skeins (200yds/skein). Kind of resistant to blocking - it stretches like crazy when wet, but then shrinks quite a bit when dry.
Overall: Very pleasant to knit - the pattern is interesting and the yarn very soft and squishy.
