There was the most soft cashmere stole being finished -- from VLT. It was absolutely scrumptious. And then there was the shawl from GoL being knit by L in a gorgeous silk, for his wife, how lucky is she?! There were two other lovely shawls and then there were two Nieblings (mine being one).
I brought Lotus Flower (a beautiful Niebling). I'm working on it using #20 crochet cotton with 2mm needles. I'm presently at row 49. This is a lovely pattern that I purchased from doilyhead. (This is the picture from the front page of the pattern).I first saw this pattern at Lacis (Mary Francis had a copy) and I knew I just had to knit it.
I'm going to knit this as a tablecloth first, and if the pattern is not too bad, I'm going to make it in zephyr as a shawl.
Lyra? I cannot believe I haven't cast on for that yet. But one thing I'm figuring out is that I can only work on ONE Niebling pattern at a time -- I can have multiple projects to work on (right now, there are about 10 projects), but only 1 Niebling. Why? well, switching from a Niebling to another Niebling doesn't make much sense, but switching from a Niebling to a single pattern scarf or a stockinette sweater is great.

I love that pattern! I was thinking of Zephyr to as a shawl. Black, probably.
That is one. Gorgeous. Pattern! Oh, I love it!
Yep - Lotus Flower is probably my next Niebling as well. It's the pattern that led me to Doilyhead in the first place! I probably won't cast on until January though - so I'll look forward to watching yours in the meantime!
