I had been wanting to knit a lace shawl from one of the skeins of sock yarn in my stash, and I&#8217;d been perusing Ravelry trying to pick just the right one. But, when I saw Janel&#8217;s finished project, I decided I wanted to knit it. Something about seeing it in person&#8230; and it&#8217;s beautiful. The earthquake \/ tsunami in Japan had just occurred, so as she was publishing it Janel decided to offer it as a benefit to disaster relief. All those factors converged and I bought the pattern, picked the skein of blue wool\/tencel I had from a few years ago at Black Sheep, and cast on. In one month, I was finished! It was a delightful project and a great spring neck-warmer during the remaining cool days.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Eiki04 by fidget kt, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/15197746@N03\/5635803631\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5227\/5635803631_607a322feb.jpg\" alt=\"Eiki04\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ravel.me\/fidget\/z97e8\" target=\"_blank\">Ravelry Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s pretty fun having a professional knitwear designer in my circle of local knitting friends.
