Check out these delicate and airy shawls which are just right for spring and summer!

Hello everyone!

I am longing for Spring! Yet, it is spitting snow here today!! The sun has been so nice when it is shining, even with the air being cold the sun keeps working its magic on the snow! I can see that the level of snow on the lawn has settled or melted down at least 8 inches! Yeah!!

This week, I finally finished a BIG project! It is a baby Shetland shawl which I have been designing and knitting all these long winter months. I think it came out so beautiful! There are sections of the shawl that are just plain knitting such as the center square and the four corners. With those garter stitch sections it pulls the whole thing together along with the edging. And I feel that the fern lace really sets it off!

I named the new one--Shetland Lullaby Baby Shawl. This could also be knitted with fingering weight yarn to make a Shetland shawl for yourself.

I knitted this shawl with lace weight yarn which does take a longer time to knit. This past summer I knitted 2 other lace weight shawls which I will show pictures of here as well!

You can find this pattern as well as the others shown below for sale in all my pattern stores: Ravelry, Craftsy, Etsy, and Loveknitting!
