I finished the center panel of my lace shawl last week. Now I am adding a lace border. Finally, I will block the lace, causing it to stretch by 30 percent, making the pattern pop gloriously. You'll see much more of a lacy look, with the holes enlarged, etc.
I thought I'd show you what it looks like now, before the border is added, and before it gets blocked:
Here's a different view showing the length:

That's really beautiful. Nice job.
Thanks!
I think it looks fine now, but I think it's going to be pretty cool after I get it blocked.
So gorgeous! I'm soooo tempted to do lace now...
Thank you Deniz!
I need to take a photo with the lace border, even though it is only partially done. The border really makes it much prettier. It took me a while to figure out how to do the border, because you are almost knitting perpendicular to the center panel as you knit it on.
Lace is fun!
so cute
