Heartland Lace Shawl – FO

Posted on | July 14, 2009 | 2 Comments

heartland_lace_shawl This shawl was really easy and quick to knit. In fact, I have knitted two of them. The second one just needs to be blocked.

Although quick and easy to knit, it was not a boring pattern to do. I enjoyed knitting it!

The pattern is a free download on Ravelry and is the Heartland Lace Shawl by Evelyn Clark. (You need to be logged into Ravelry to access)

I knitted both my shawls in the same yarn:- Sirdar Balmoral which is Wool, Alpaca and Silk mix. I used just over 3 x 50g balls.

I would really like to knit this shawl in the same yarn but in different colours, but this means a trip into Aberdeen, which doesn’t happen very often.

Quick Query

How did you block your balmoral? Mum needs some help and I’ve never used it!

Hi Kirstin, I soaked the shawl in warm water for approx 20 minutes, then squeezed as much water as possible out of it.
I use foam playmats for kids to pin it out on, and I just pinned it out to the sizes given in the pattern and left it to dry.
It did take quite a while for it to dry, at least 24 hours.
Hope this helps.
