Liesl

On a bit of a Ysolda Teague craze, I found delight and joy in Liesl. A feather and fan pattern, I adore the simplicity of it, as well as the lace effect, of course!

First I made a wool one using louet's Bonnie. Truthfully I was inspired by Sivia Harding's version using the same yarn, and had to copy her choice, only in blue (Sivia's is green-based). The colour changes are stunning.



Since I finished it in May when the weather was warming up, I thought I would make a cotton one for summer. This is filatura de crosa's aran weight Porto Cervo, a creamy white just right for summer days over a tank. Loving the dainty picot edges on the hem. Turns out Lila loved it too.... now it's hers!
