Rowan Fine Lace has always been one of my favorite lace yarns. I’ve been using it for more than 10 years and will use it in the future. It is very beautiful, luxurious and high-quality yarn from England.

Nothing Lasts Forever – story of a pattern
I had same nail technician for nearly 8-9 years. She knew me, my style and we got along really well. So you can imagine my sadness when in December of 2022 I found out that this is our last time.
How it’s made
I thought it would be interesting to show how shawl is created from scratch, what happens behind closed doors.
I must say, there are reasons why not every pattern is done this way. Since this work was done by me personally, I didn’t quite finish pattern before starting. I will add comment where I did things differently.
My pattern How It’s Made (available for free) was translated to Danish by Marianne Holmen on https://strikkeglad.dk. How cool is that 🙂
Is shawl only for special occasion?
I’d say, it is not. My first shawls were Swallowtails by Evelyn A. Clark and I used heavier lace weight mohair blend. I made one for myself and few for colleagues. I wore mine every winter for years, first on wool coat and later on with leather jacket.
Shawl “50 R” *
Every pattern has a different fate – some go to explore the world, some become something you can touch or just stay as a file on some cloud. I’ll share story of this shawl, because pattern won’t go exploring and it will be one of a kind.
