This lovely Tea Rose Lace Shawl by Evelyn Clark was so much fun to knit. I had a chance to take a class with Evelyn at The Tea Cozy in Ballard (awesome yarn shop!) and couldn't pass it up. Evelyn shared tips about designing lace and her career as a knitwear designer, she has published so many patterns that I admired way before the Ravelry and indie pattern boom. I have been wearing this almost every cool day for the past year and it certainly kept me cozy when visiting Minneapolis this year (it was about 5 degrees when we took these photos). Shetland Spindrift is a favorite yarn. So wooly, but it softens up nicely when washed and it blocks well. This is definitely a favorite color and it was a happy coincidence that the Beeswax hat made the year before matches even though it is made from a completely different yarn - Berroco Ultra Alpaca.
