My needles have been clicking away, and it is time for a new pattern! I am pleased to introduce Dark Lotus Shrug, an intricate lace shrug worked in a fingering weight yarn.

Counterpane constructions have always intrigued me, and after the success of my Camellia Shrug I wanted to design another shrug worked from the center out. If you like detailed lace patterns, this shrug will keep your interest. Totally seamless with minimal finishing, and an I-cord beginning that helps provide stability when working just a few stitches over double point needles.
The yarn is Peacock Sock by Unplanned Peacock, a super soft and springy fingering weight yarn. The color variations are absolutely beautiful in rich and vibrant purples, and I think it pairs really well with the lace patterns.
I love lace knitting, but don't have much opportunity to wear my lace shawls. They seem so fancy for everyday life and even when I go out sometimes it seems like keeping a shawl on my shoulders would be inconvenient. Hopefully I will find more use for a shrug!
See the pattern page here for the particulars. Happy Knitting!
