With the skills you learn you can knit Kate's Modest Lace Shawl!
Emily just finished this worsted weight version, knit out of Classic Elite Princess. It's so smooshy and soft. I'm a terrible sucker for worsted weight lace though, I think it makes the lace look fantastic!

We also have a fingering weight sample in the shop, and either version would be a great first lace project!

I looked at Kate's Modest Shawl pattern on Ravelry, but I would like to know if the pattern for this wrap, rectangular it looks like, is available. If so, where can I get it? Thanks!
