Paikallisessa lankaliikkeessä oli näytillä Titanium- niminen huivi ja se vaikutti sellaiselta huivilta, jonka pitsineulenoviisi voisi sopia. Langaksi valitsin merinovillalangan, joka vaikutti sopivan pehmeältä.
Huivista tuli ihan asiallinen eikä pahoja mokia sattunut. Kun vielä opin lukemaan kaaviota oikein päin eli riviltä 1 riville 24 eikä toisin päin, niin huivin tekeminen tuntui helpolta... Pingottaminenkin sujui ongelmitta ja huivi on jo käytössä.
Ohje sopii mainiosti ensimmäiseksi pitsineuleprojektiksi. Suosittelen :-)

I have never been a fan of lace patterns or expecially interested in shawls. I don't know exactly why I have thought this way. One reason could be that the lace shawls look difficult to knit. There are a lot of decreases and yarn overs and other things that I'm have not been so familiar with. I have rather knitted cables. The other reason for not to make lace shawls can be that I have thought that only very old ladies are wearing them. As you can see, I had some prejudices, but luckily I got the courage to knit a shawl.
The Titanium shawl was displayed in the local yarn shop and I immediately decided that this is the shawl I want to knit. The yarn is soft merino wool.
The shawl turned out to be beautiful and I didn't make any big mistakes. Knitted went well after I finally understood that lace chart is read from the row 1 to row 24, not the other way around...
This pattern suits well for the first lace pattern. I recommend it :-)
