I am officially a lace knitter!
I love learning new things – you could say I’m addicted to it
Today’s class at Lettuce Knit taught me a few things.
- My eyesight isn’t what it used to be. Dark variegated laceweight on dark needles might not be a good idea for a first lace project.
- Don’t try to talk and do yarn overs at the same time.
- The row that you decide you don’t need to count is the one that you’ll screw up.
When I got home, I frogged the one I was working on and switched to a slightly thicker yarn. It’s still beautiful (like Fleece Artist could be anything else). This is the Kid Silk 2 ply, and I know exactly who’s getting this for Christmas
Here’s my progress today (after I restarted). Total knitting time, 3 hrs. I’ve pinned it out roughly to see what it would look like when blocked. I’m lovin’ it.
