Something special

June 02 2015 – thisisknit

Hot off Jacqui's needles is this beautiful shawl, just in time for summer! Like much of her lacework, this is a pattern by Boo Knits. This one is called Wintersweet, and it's a triumph of lace and beads. When a knitter knits pattern after pattern by the same designer, it's a very good sign. Sure enough, Jacqui really recommends all of Boo Knits' work - beautiful, clearly written and much, much easier to knit than they look. As for the yarn, the boat got pushed out a bit here. This Wintersweet is made from Lotus Silky Cashmere, 366 metres of luxury. The blend is 55% silk and 45% cashmere, and its softness has to be felt to be believed. What a summer accessory this would make! Perfect for a elegant wedding (your own or someone else's!), and easy to pack for a holiday trip, it would really make Summer 2015 shine. (And at the moment, Summer 2015 needs all the help it can get!)
