Maikell Shawl (sorta')
This was made with revisions from the Estonia Lace book (don't remember the exact name I borrowed it from the library). I made it with Zephyr 50/50 wool/silk on a US size 4 needle. Half of the nupps (bobbles) were replaced with size 6/0 beads. And that is my adorable wife posing!

I just bought Nancy Bush's "Knitted Lace Of Estonia". Nupps drive me batshit, but the patterns and the history are fascinating! It's a great book!

My god man, you are brilliant! I've wanted to do something with Lily of the Valley lace for a looooong time but HATE bobbles. What a great idea, large beads to replace the bobbles and much prettier too. Thanks for the great idea.
