Ishbel

Wow, my first lace project is complete. The kicker? It only took me 6 days to knit. This pattern is sure to be a regular standby. It is Ishbel, by Ysolda Teague. I used Handpainted Merino Superwash Fingering in the colorway Tea Towel by The Plucky Knitter.

Everyone was right about the fact that it's the perfect first lace project!

Here is a close-up of the stitch pattern:

I finally got to use my Knitter's Block. I definitely have to invest in more pins, however. I ended up having to use some of my tapestry needles too :)

I can't stop staring...
