I received two skeins of scrumptious Malabrigo Silky Merino in Ankara Green in a swap a while back, and decided that my quick project to work on before the Spring KAL at my LYS would be a shawl. So I decided to knit Summer Flies even though spring hasn’t really even started here!
It’s coming along pretty well, I’ve finished the first three sections whilst watching some How I Met Your Mother (I love that show!). I really wish the pattern had charts though, I absolutely HATE knitting lace from written instructions.

12 years agoVery pretty lace pattern and a very nice yarn to match too. Lace knitting without a chart can be very painful!

12 years agoI love the colour you’re using there. :D I have been thinking to make this one myself too… just need to get my current wips done first.
