Yes, this is what appears to be, color-work lace. And while I wouldn’t say “it’s a piece of cake” it is simply knitting stripes and lace at the same time while strategically slipping stitches. Not a beginner technique, but with attention to detail I believe not the hardest thing out there either.

With very little solid anything in this pattern a stockinette gauge is useless – so the pattern includes a little sample pattern for knitters to test out their color choices and get familiar with the new tricks of this technique while finding their gauge.

This shawl marks the beginning of my exploration of another great house featured in Frank Herbert’s Dune novels – House Corrino. The Golden Lion Throne is the seat from which the Emperor of the Universe rules his domain. Inspired by the decadence of a peak civilization I looked to the hedonistic Art Deco age for inspiration in both the design and colors.
