First I allways thought a shawl isn't a thing to do in lace but after a while I wanted one and I started. Fisrt for the design - this I found after a while but as usual for me I make some chances. After that I decided it not make as broad as most do because I thaught if it is doubled one couldn't see the design. Ok i choose 19 cm is broad enough. Than the search for the colours and the material. tussah-silk won and about five or six different colours in green and blue and a bit grey, because i wanted the shawl for deep blue pulls. Later i saw that it is also nice on white. Than the work started. I made three parts of pricking, worked on my flat "pieced" pillow with normal Continental bobbins. And I had a work I could sit down even for 15 minutes because Torchon is a thing I could do in the middle of the night or when ever. I didn't stop the time, I started in april last year and I had it ready when I went to the IOLI, but I didn't work on it every day. So you see it is not a work for ages. Have courage those who think it lasted too long.
