I started knitting this Faux Russian Stole last year, in August, and am now about 80% done. The lace pattern is easy to knit, but there are about fifty rows in each pattern repeat, so it requires the use of the chart at all times.
The yarn - Rowanspun 4-ply in Tweed, a deep green - is very interesting, tweedy and nubbly, with a crunchy texture. I love the resulting fabric and I can't wait to wear this shawl!

Beautiful - both the project and the pictures!
That's stunning!
Love the photos!
Gorgeous! I'm working on my first lace pattern and pictures like yours are so inspiring.
Oh, gorgeous. I've been looking for a good rectangular shawl pattern... and I've never thought of knitting lace with tweed. I think I might give it a go.
The shawl is exquisite in shadow! When I've knit large projects, especially lace, I fall in love with them completely. It's difficult to part with the process once they are finished, too.
Excellent lace knitting - and a brilliant way to photograph it to show that lovely pattern. Well done.
Oh that faux russian stole.. awsome!
The stole is absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see it finished and blocked. But whoa, a 50 row repeat? At least it has regular patterning to make those rows a bit predictable.
