Dear friend,
My lace-edged shawlette is finally up on my Ravelry page, right here. It's been so long since I posted something on there!
My thoughts about the project: I loved it. As you can clearly see, I made lots of mistakes in the lace edging. It was my first time reading a lace chart, and my first time needing to heavily block a project for it to turn out at all. So there was a lot of learning going on. But then, when you look back on it, it really is a simple and straightforward project, so I would definitely recommend it to a beginning knitter. Which really I am, when you think about it! So much to learn.
I can't wait to get on to my next project, which will have to wait until my holiday house portrait orders are complete. But it's going to be an art-deco-y pinched turban hat I think, with a vintage brooch closure. If you're on Ravelry, add me so we can be friends! :)
Love,
Rebekka
Oh, and PS! I made a little film for Darling Magazine's website and my friend Hannah. Apparently, she is a very talented gingerbread house-maker! I certainly learned a lot just from making the film :)

I love your lace shawlette, I think it's gorgeous. And I will add you as a friend on Ravelry.
Rebekka, you knit wit ; )
The shawlette came out beautifully! Even with the rough edges, it has character ; )
Just watched your fun video! How sweet! Thanks for the inspiration.
that's gorgeous! I love it :) wonderful job :)
It turned out beautifully!! I can't even see the imperfections you mention.
Rebekka I think your shawlette is perfectly imperfect...I would just have admired it without looking for any flaws had you not insisted I could clearly see them...then I HAD to look and try to see them...and I am still not convinced :)
I watched your movie of the gingerbread house raising with such delight that my daughter and grands came to watch it too...and I explored Darling Magazine with great interest and appreciation for its mission and the talented feminine community involved in its creation.
Thanks for posting :) xx from Gracie
loving the shawlette! it's really pretty :) and that video is amazing, thanks for sharing!
'Imperfections' and all, this is quite stunning. It's more than I could ever dream of doing! xo
so beautiful!!! love it :)
Love the lace edge on your shawlette..... I wish I could knit.
The ginger house film is amazing!
Have a lovely weekend x
What a great yarn project! Beautiful! :)
What a beautiful shawlette, and a gorgeous gingerbread house! What talented ladies you are!
Ahh Rebekka, I've just joined Ravelry, may I friend you?
It seems like you and I both started with crochet and just learned knitting! I'm working on a crocheted lace shawl for my mother in law because I didn't think I'd be able to handle lace knitting just yet; I'm glad to see you recommend this!
Beautiful! Love your hair too, you always do it so nicely :) X
Lovely! That color of yarn is beautiful! I got my knitting bug back again and am making this next, in a fawn brown/grey. So excited! cowboy cowl
It's gorgeous and just in time for the holidays! I love it on you!
Such a great little accent for the winter. It looks lovely, beautiful work. I consider myself a new knitter as well as I'm just coming on two years of working the needles, so I appreciate projects that are rather simple, but turn out so nice.
Wow you are definitely an artist. Very stunning. One day I'll dabble with crochet. Lovely job!
It turned out so fantastic! What a dream :)
