Another lacy shawlette, this one a Christmas present for my co-worker Elaine. Only 2 more shawls before Christmas and then I think I’ll be done with lace for a while. I love this pattern, though. It’s a simple lace pattern that looks much more complex than it is. A quick and easy knit, even with the beads.
Pattern: Ishbel
Yarn: Ella Rae Lace Merino in Rose, Tan & Orange (#119)
Beads: Size 8 Czech glass beads in Royal Ruby

magnificent! as per your usual!!!
Dang I wish I was as fast a knitter as you are! That’s gorgeous!
Gorgeous! I love that color! 
seeing this, I wish I was your work mate 
Great, but in lace we expect greatness of you.
Just making my first lace shawl ever I am more sucessfull than I thought I would be. But these are far beyond my range.
PS: Drops (Garnstudio) will be out with a new lace yarn in a few weeks. They already have the preview up on garnstudio.com. It is called “Drops Lace” and will have 800 m to the 100g hank. I am totally curious about that one, but I will have to wait, at least for a while. My favorite is that pale rose color.
Wow, 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk. That has to be the softest lace yarn ever!
can’t wait to get my hands on it!
But they say something like 11 weeks so I will have to be patient.
I know you said you were done with lace for a while, but have you ever seen this:

I think that piece may be getting me into lace… it might be a great gift for my mother. She wears lace scarfs / printed woven scarfs with fine dresses and such.
If you would make it, let me know how it goes.
Your work is so wonderful, Marilyn! This is yet another BEAUTY! A real gift of love, I might add!
That is just drop-dead gorgeous. I like the peacock motif in shawls and I’ve been considering this one:
Now I have another to consider, though either one would take me forever! Maybe next summer when school is out. Thanks for the beautiful pic.
Wow!! Absolutely to die for!!
I am in awe of how quickly you crank these projects out! What lovely gifts! Lace is just so very special!
Wonderful job!!
That’s beautiful
A stunning piece!
Amazing!
