on Jan 4th, 2009Mom Models Triinu Sharf
I made the pink and purple Triinu Shawl from Nancy Bush’s Lace Knitting of Estonia as a holiday surprise for my mother. My surprise was her willingness to model it for my blog! (Don’t tell anyone but I think she really enjoyed it.)

As my mother requested, I am still working on a black Shetland lace scarf. This knitted piece is much narrower but it must be at least 6 feet ling when blocked. Due to the dark color and lace weight yarn, it’s taking forever since I can only knit a few rows at a time before my eyes hurt. I just passed the 32 inch mark. Less than 40 inches left to go due to blocking growth!
Beautiful shawl! Your mother looks lovely.
That’s a gorgeous shawl! I can’t wait to see the finished black one.
Thank you. I’m sure my mom will appreciate the compliment.
