diamanta
i'm up late working a bit so i thought i would do a quick post. our IT department moved our web server tonight so i had to make sure our systems were back up and running after the move. they aren't. hopefully things will work themselves out overnight (most likely caused by a refresh issue) but if not i'll have a long morning ahead of me.
not that it matters to you, but it's late and i tend to ramble a bit when i get sleepy. ok, so what i really wanted to show is some pictures of the shawl i knit for my friend who is getting married this summer.
this is diamanta by french girl. i used yarn from one of my favs the plucky knitter. it is the silk/merino laceweight in meryweather i believe (the tag is around here somewhere but too lazy to look at the moment).
as i mentioned a few posts back i am having a hard time capturing it's beauty in pictures but i think you get the idea. if you are on ravelry you may have already seen these.
this was a fairly quick knit. i actually have a second in malabrigo lace on the needles for myself. i'm taking my time on it though so don't expect any pics soon. i am in love with this pattern. i wanted a lace pattern for my friend that felt a little more modern and i think this fits.
logging off now, happy friday!

Ah, memories of working on fumes after a long IT day...So sorry. Here's hoping all turns out after the refresh.
Love your version of the lace wrap. Better, actually, than the original.
I was Diamanta's test knitter for the French Girl. How fun to see another one! Yours looks beautiful.

I've always loved this pattern, but I was worried about the wear-ability. Just beautiful!

What a beautiful shawl, I hope your friend is thrilled because that is a fabulous gift!
A~ It's gorgeous!!! WOW!
Um - I'd say you did an absolutely fabulous job of capturing the beauty of everything about the shawl. Wow!
Looks wonderful! I should start on mine soon, but that would mean finishing the projects that have long been on the needles ; )

It's such a beautiful shawl!
It is gorgeous! I am sure your friend will love it. Anymore I am crazy for lace patterns. I am adding Diamanta to my must knit list.
Bella! You did an awesome job on this! More lace in your future??
Love the photos, too. You are one artistic gal!
Oh! It was SO nice to see you!
Your shawl is beautiful! What a wonderful gift for a friend. It's perfect.
Your Diamanta is incredibly beautiful. The color is a great choice.
Beautiful!
That is beautiful! As a newbie (think just took my first screaming breath) lace knitter, how difficult was that? I'm just scared to death of lace. Socks-good. Blankets-good. Most anything else- good. Lace-gah! Great project. :D
