Leafy Green Shawl

At the yarn store in Utrecht (I really need to finish writing+captioning up this trip), I bought some single-ply laceweight green yarn, because while I've made a number of lace shawls, none of them have been green.    When I came home, I noted that I have done this twice previously, about every two years.    

So as to avoid buying more green laceweight in 2019, I made a green lace shawl.   I'm pleased with how it came out, though I wouldn't mind having a better background for the picture.

Yes! I first saw hand-painted knitting done by someone who used a knitting machine make up floral patterns in black and white, and then painted the white to show off the flowers and leaves. It was glorious.
