Lace Shawl with Nubs: A Reminder of God's Care

This is a great little shawl - lightweight, beautiful design, fun color, quick knit.  It is the Annis Shawl by designer Susanna IC (the same designer of my Pink Easter Shawl).  She offers such great designs in this shoulder-hugging crescent shape.  The yarn is Karabella's Supercashmere Fine, 100% true luxurious cashmere in a light neon green colorway. 

No, it isn't too hot to wear here on the Texas coast because the lace is so open.  Even with moving and unpacking during the same timeframe, it still only took 2 weeks to finish this great accessory to my wardrobe!  The bumps are called nubs and were fun to learn and knit.

You can see from the before, during and after photos that aggressive blocking is necessary to show off the lace.

How many times do we encounter bumps in the road and fret over how to deal with them?  Our Lord loves us amazingly and entreats us not to worry for He is in control.  He clothes the flowers and feeds the birds.  This move, although we are now happily settled, wasn't without a few glitches. When I see these nubs on my shawl it will serve as a reminder to not worry about the little bumps in my life but to turn the situation over to God and watch what beauty He creates from them.
