I finished Heartland in July of 2008, but never got around to posting it because I was huge with child. I gave her the proper photo shoot and written description on my blog.
I am a very slow knitter so this took me a few months to finish, but that is because life takes over for me. Also, I used a lot more of the yarn that I spun in order to use it all up, so there were extra repeats. How many? I didn't track. Depending on the yarn, size you want to knit, etc, it shouldn't take more than a few weeks. Good luck.
That turned out beautiful! I love the colors you chose really added to the beauty of the lace. And Rosa, I guarantee that I am a much slower knitter than you...lol Takes me forever to finish a project:)

Oh, that is pretty! I have wanted to knit this shawl for sooo long.
Do you know approximately how long it took?

Oh this is GORGEOUS!
My friend Haley knits quite a lot. She is always going to extremes to get the perfect yarn. I should get her to teach me someday.
