restless

That's the name of this design by Bonnie Sennott, Restless.  I love how it turned out!  So delicate.  So feminine.  So light and airy.


I used a 2-ply laceweight merino yarn by Pink Dandelion Yarns.  The colorway is "The Color Purple."  Now that my hair is silver-ish, this is a color I can finally wear :D


Blocked to 11" x 70," this rectangular piece can be worn as a stole or a scarf.  It was knit on US#4 wooden needles.  Weighing the cake before and after, I estimate having used just over 300 yards.  So there is plenty left in the cake (600+ yards) for another lace project.


Lace is sooooooo worth the time it takes to knit!  The best part is removing the blocking wires and appreciating that first, soft drape across the arms.
