Estonian Lace Christening Swatch Shawl Blocked!
After blocking, the swatch shawl turned out to be a whopping 3ft by 3ft! I guess I got a bit carried away with my swatching! To see more detail, click on the photos to enlarge images.

The swatch shawl was knitted in Jaggerspun Zephyr laceweight in white on 2.75mm circs. So, now I'll start the full sized version with a few minor changes!

I've just reread and noticed you said "swatch" shawl?? Tell me I'm wrong - it isn't "just" a swatch??

Maggisen - yes, the pattern will be available later as a PDF and maybe as a printed copy, too.

That is absolutely beautiful. I don't envy you all the nupps but it's going to be a right bobby-dazzler.

This is THE most beautiful swatch in the history of the world! Sign me up for your future pattern, too. Hope you include your swatch pattern in it as well...What an heirloom baby blanket/shawl this would be!
