Ishebel takes off

A while ago, I cast on for Ishbel. Because despite many protestations that I would not follow the crowd, sometimes the crowd is just right.

Ishbel beginnings

As with most lace, it doesn’t look like much so far. I’m doing the larger size, but on US5s. Mainly because I couldn’t find my US6 needles, and didn’t feel like buying more. The yarn is Knitpicks Shimmer in the (I believe discontinued) colorway Happy Dance. It reminds me of Stargzaer lillies, and it’s already working it’s magic; it makes me happy when I see it.
