I found the most amazing pattern…   it’s a lacework shawl that has a dragon worked into it- right up my alley!

I ordered the pattern over the weekend and I’m waiting for it to get here.  The pattern is by Aurora Alpacas, and it’s so beautifully designed.  This is my first foray into true lacework.  I’ve never tried anything this elaborate. 

I’ve ordered sz 2 & 3 needles from Knit Picks, as well as 4 hanks of Knit Picks Shadow in the Lost Lake colorway.   This is a 100% merino yarn that will hopefully be somewhat warm.  I really like this shade of green, as it does make me think “DRAGON!!”  I can’t wait for my supplies to get here so I can dive right in! 

Here are some shots of my recently finished projects…

Stitch Diva Simple Knitted Bodice

Pictures of the progress can be found at the following links:

First- lacework too high, had to frog back to neckline- http://dragonwingarts.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=611

Then, lacework corrected, but body not completed- http://dragonwingarts.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=623

Final picture, showing sleeves (I just hate the goofy grin!!) - http://dragonwingarts.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=626

Works in Progress:  Ripples & Lace afghan, Baby sweater, Fortissima 1776 Socks, Brown Alpaca Scarf, “Moutain Meadows” Mohair scarf, Patons SWS Entrelac Pillow, Annie Modesitt Corset Tank pullover, Lion Brand Homespun “Corinthian” sweater… and I think that’s it for now

I finished my Mango Moon recycled silk purse… it came out quite amazingly. I can’t believe the colors!
I’m also making great progress on my Stitch Diva bodice… pictures are in the gallery. Feel free to comment!!
