Heartland Lace Shawl from Silk Handspun
I started on the Evelyn Clark Heartland Lace Shawl created for Wild Fibers Magazine. I was able to get a free copy of the pattern, but I think the pattern is now being sold as a kit. This is being knit out of 2.1 oz of Tussah Silk that I handspun on my Babe spinning wheel. I am knitting this on US 4 Lace Addis, which is the first time using this needle, and I like the pointy-ness of it; especially great for SK2P, and maybe even the dreaded nupps of Swallowtail.
My goal is to finish this by my 34th birthday on May 1st, so I can get started on another shawl. For any further details on the yarn or the shawl, check out the blog.

The shawl looks lovely already. The link to your blog doesn't work for me.
Your Heartland Lace looks beautiful! I love the color of the tussah silk.
Thank you, ladies. I fixed the link. Sorry about that.
Your shawl looks wonderful! The silk you spun has terrific colors. I have to go look at that pattern again. Your knitting makes it look really lovely. Good Luck meeting your deadline.
Very pretty. I'll bet it will drape beautifully. Happy Birthday on the 1st!
