I've just started knitting the edging chart on the Angel Lace shawl. This Malabrigo lace yarn is just so soft! I keep wondering how blocking is going to affect it.
I'm hopeless at gauging yarn amounts. That ball is about the size of a lemon. I'm guessing it is plenty for the edging but not enough for another full pattern repeat and then the edging. But who knows??
This has been a pleasing interlude of plain vanilla [like the good stuff with the great vanilla bean bits in it]. I think I'll be satisfied to return to the colorful land of Jojo when this is completed.
In the meantime I'll link to a YouTube video just e-mailed to me by a lace club friend. Sadly there is no narration, just music, but the technique is amazing.
Now that is real stringplay! A bit more information here.

Hi. That lace looks way to eye straining for me! But it sure is beautiful.
Love the "Vanilla Lace" you're doing. I love lace in white but have yet to do any in that color.
Still working on the Goddess Knits Anniversary Shawl which is sage. On clue 4 of 5. Joined another one for next month.
Still around, just quiet, busy and getting ready for the Baby Girl to go off to college.

The shawl is like a sorbet that cleanses your palate before you move on to tastier things.
It looks very pretty!
