Years ago when I first saw the Chantel Shawl I fell in love. Nice lace pattern using Kid Silk Haze. The pattern is in Vintage Style, Rowan Magazine. The only drawback is that it wasn't knitted but crocheted. I haven't done that since 6th grade, and then it was a pair of Lovikka mittens.
Then Warp & Weft had a spring sale and I "had to invest" in there kid mohair (less expensive than KSH but then without the silk). I like the colors - makes me happy.
I took the project with me as a vacation project to an island in the Stockholm archipelago.
So first I had to make a test square, using cotton since it much easier to "redo" when making errors. This is the second one, the first one was not completed and didn't end up as a square. It wasn't that eay to understand the pattern and acronymns.
First sqaure completed and then I managed to complete 70 squares before going back to the city last August. I think I had all 100 made in early October and then put them in a "safe place" to start with other knitting projects. I hade a small panic attack when I couldn't find tham and for a moment (a very long moment) thought theat I had trown them away before I found them neatly stacked in size order in my bookshelf.
100 squares in order to be crocheted together....
....and here is the other end of the shawl.
