I was hoping to be able to share with you my new yarn purchases from the fabby Woolfest (see last post), and maybe even a new WIP using said new goodies, but as I have not yet got them back from my very own (and very lovely) personal transportation and storage assistant Naomi (lol!) this is not possible. Fear not, I will be getting my sticky mitts on them later this afternoon *squeal!* and I shall be casting on asap. And in the meantime I shall show you the first project I have lined up.
So I present to you the gorgeous Travelling Woman:

So I'm thinking of knitting it with this, which I'm pretty sure is the exact yarn I bought at Woolfest on Saturday - I know it was this exact colourway, grey with cute little turquoise flecks *heart*. I saw it, but didn't think I could ever even think about taking on a lace-weight project. But I just couldn't stop thinking about it, so I decided what the heck, went back and to my delight this single skein was still there waiting for me, and so of course I snapped it right up.

Gorgeous indeed! I love the little blue/turquoise flecks too, I think it will work very well with the shawl.
I'm too a little bit scared of lace weight, but one day.... ;o)
That's going to be gorgeous in that yarn - enjoy your afternoon :)
Traveling woman is one of my favourite shawls. Bet you had a fantastic time at woolfest x
That yarn is just so pretty! It'll look stunning as a shawl :)
Very pretty yarn. It will look great as a Traveling Woman!
Beautiful yarn. Travelling woman has been in my queue for a while ... haven't gotten to it yet!
Very pretty, love the shawl.
Gorgeous! I can't wait to see your actual yarn and see you get started. It's going to be beautiful in that colorway!
That's going to be lovely! And I'm jealous about Woolfest too!!!
:)
Lace weight is not so intimidating! You might find that you love the delicate lace that it produces.
Very pretty yarn and it will look great as that shawl! I know a few people who made it and love it!
