The last time I’m busy knitting on time-consuming projects. One of them is finished and I want to show it to you.

Haapsalu Shawl

I have done this pattern using “The Haapsalu Shawl“, a great book from Siiri Reimann & Aime Edasi.

It is knitted with Rowan Fine Lace and measures 75 cm (29,5in) wide and 180 cm (71in) long after blocking.

Here are some more pictures:

Why do I call this pattern Maria in the Valley?

Because the original pattern is called “Reversed Lily of the Valley” Pattern. And I have sent this shawl to Maria Niedermayer, my fellow Rowan Ambassador, who is celebrating her birthday today.

You may learn more about Maria on the blog of Cindi Brumpton: Introducing Rowan Ambassador Maria.

Happy Birthday, Maria! Hope you like the shawl.
