Lacy Baktus

I finished this last week. I thought I would never get it finished. LOL..:)

It is my Mother's Day pressie for my mum. Yep, I know Mother's Day was a few weeks ago but luckily for me, mum is somewhere in the Australian outback and won't be back until early June. I couldn't spend mother day with her this year. After all these years of sewing for me, making my clothes as a kid and altering clothes that I buy from opp shops that never seem to quite fit me, I can make her something to say thank you. .....:)

Little Lou chose the wool at the Wool Inn in Penrith. Funny, I was tending to go for the bright coloured wool but I couldn't decide - so I let Lou choose. Lou seemed to go for these earthy colours with a hint of blue and purple. The wool I used is Noro Silk Garden sock wool. I knitted it up on 3.25mm needles. It has purple in the middle of the shawl but you don't see it in the photos.

The pattern is called Lacy Baktus by Terhi Montonen - another freebie from Ravelry. I first saw this pattern knitted up on Waldorf Mama's blog.
