I did it! I finished the lace cowl for my mom. It took me so long and not because it was too difficult, but peaceful stretches of time when I can focus on counting are very rare when you have 2 toddlers. 😀 But it’s done and I am very happy with the way it turned out. The self-striping lace yarn fit perfectly with the hearts count. I made a couple of mistakes but sssshhhh, don’t tell anyone 😉
I used Paton’s Lace in Sachet and this gorgeous pattern. ❤ ❤ ❤
