Candlelight Shawl

I learned this pattern from First book of modern lace knitting book. One of designs  “Candle Design” is very beautiful . I have seen other knitter change this deisgn to a shawl.  I have to make one for myself.

I choose one of my favorite yarn Lionbrand LB 1878, colorway : Avacodo, size needle  US 5 (3.75mm). It took about half cone 250g
Finished size: 25"(64cm) X 56"(142cm). It could been wider and longer if I had enough patient :). and I should used needle size 6 it would been better.

I enjoy wearing it very much. I got lots of good comments from my friends:)
