Estonian lace shawl
Description
Once upon a time, I was invited to a black-tie winter wedding. I found a sleeveless, peacock blue, silk dress, but I needed something to keep away the chill! There is just enough sparkly beads throughout the wrap to give it some “glitter” but not enough to slow down your knitting speed (or make you look like you’ve stepped out of Vegas). Since I can’t wear the wrap everywhere, I wrote the cowl pattern too. It is less fussy than the wrap, but still just as fun!
