The border wasn't too bad once I got going and I am very pleased with the finished article; I can see myself knitting this pattern again.
Pattern: Shoulder shawl in cherry leaf pattern, Victorian Lace TodayYarn: Posh Yarns Eva (2ply, 45% cashmere, 55% silk) in colourway Willow
I had plenty of yarn to do the full 15 repeats, and it is much bigger than I was expecting it to be, maybe because my first lace shawl (the Swallowtail) was so small. I think this is a better size to wear and will make a nice evening wrap for summer. The colour has grown on me too, it seems right for this leafy shawl.

That is a beauty and I love the colour too. How many skeins did it take as I have two in that yarn and was wondering which pattern from VLT I would use for it ?
That's beautiful. <3
How did you find the knitted-on border? I keep eyeing this pattern in my VLT but I've not had to do that particular technique before.
