Green Lace Shawl

This one is being back-posted. I finished it, a long last, between Christmas and New Year's. It is from a pattern in Victorian Lace Today, by Jane Sowerby. I think I have had the yarn for about five years, and I think it took me most of 2012 to knit. I am very, very happy to be finished with it.

I think that I have the urge to knit with laceweight yarn out of my system for a few months.  Knitting the leaf border around the edge - a 12 stitch border - became very boring after about the 60th repeat.

It is 21" x 76". I couldn't find a model to show it off, so I have doubled it and hung it over the back of a chair for this photo.
