Estonian Garden Wrap is Done
This is the most beautiful shawl I have made - and what a pleasure to make! I started with a provisional cast on for symetrical edgings. It was an easily memorized traditional Estonian lace pattern. The 5 stitch nupps on the lily of the valley border were a little slow, but definitely worth the time and effort! It feels so elegant, soft, light and airy yet warm.

The Oregon Coast colorway blends right into the carpet so there is not much to see. The only place I use pins is on the ends - the long edges just stick on the rug where I stretch them.
