An English Garden in Red Rock Country
July 19, 2007
Doesn't she look quite marvelous against the red rock? The shawl, sillly, not me! Of all the places in Utah where my finished knits have been photographed, no place is as amazing as Bryce.
Hidcote felt like the wings of an angel as I stood on the edge of the canyon. She feels like angels breath on the skin.
Lace has only been part of my knitting repertoire for 3 years and Hidcote is by far the most complicated project to date. Her finish gives me a true sense of accomplishment and I love wearing her delicate beauty. Zephyr is so light and soft it can be worn year round and is perfect for too cool offices, movie theaters or restaurants.
Hidcote designed by Miriam Felton
Yarn: JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk 2/18 – 2, 2 oz balls
Needle: Size 4 Addi Lace
Size: 84" x 40" apx.
Time to Knit: January 1, 2007 – July 9, 2007
The shawl is gorgeous. Congrats on finishing it!

Your Hidcote is absolutely gorgeous - I think it's my favourite of Miriam's designs.
And there aren't strong enough adjectives to describe the magnificence of Bryce Canyon! I hope never to cease to be amazed by its splendour.

I had a feeling that if I logged in today. I'd get to see Hidcote. :-) And oh, she was worth every stitch, wasn't she? (Even the ones you had to knit twice!)
And yes, I too think I spy a fab new summer 'do... ;-)

It certainly is gauzy - no wonder it's called lace and worth all the work, I mean pleasure, that you put into it.

All three of you are stunning. Congrats, and please, no matter how much like wings that shawl feels, don't jump.
