Wickenberry shawl

I live in rural Lincolnshire, in a small village on the edge of the Wolds. My part of Lincolnshire is renowned for its big skies and lovely landscapes and this pattern, which is part of my Lincolnshire Shawlscapes series, reflects the history of the land which surrounds my village. 

Wickenby is a small village near to where I live. During the Second World War it had, like many areas in Lincolnshire, an airfield where aeroplanes from the RAF took off daily, some never to return. Nowadays the lanes round the old airfield are full of hedgerows and collecting blackberries to make jam is one of the joys of living in such a beautiful part of the country,

The shawl itself has a finished size of approximately 200 cm x 50 cm once it has been blocked. Please note that it is essential to block the shawl to get a straight top edge and to emphasis the concentric lace pattern sections
