I've wanted a knit veil ever since I learned to knit lace, even more so when I saw the many different shawls on ravelry converted into/used as veils. In 2010, a kind raveler (magickbeanbuyer) RAKed me 2skeins of madelinetosh lace in flour sack; in 2011, 3 other hoars Hehena, V, and Kae, sent me a book on Victorian lace knitting and in there the cap shawl pattern resides. I have put off making these for so long until that thread about people not having enough time to knit everything on their wedding knitlist.
On April 18, as soon as my last project was off the needles, I cast on My Wedding Veil.
The thing with circular knitting is you start from so few a stitches that you get past the first rows really fast. I just hit 100th row after more than a week of relaxed knitting.
Honestly, I can feel myself slowing down, but I think I'm still excited enough about finishing that I hope the next 72 rows will be a breeze. There is still a knit on edging that may take forever. And I have yet to decide if I will stick to the suggested edging or maybe do something else. As the saying goes: I'll cross the bridge when I get there.
