The first Category — Knitting on the Road. Our winner may not have gone far on the road, but it went on the road a LOT. For her Sister-in-law’s scarf .. on the road, at the beach, at the soccer game:
MAYA will be receiving a delicious shawl kit from blindpurls! blindpurls has donated a lovely kit … from a lace of the month group
KnitsbyTeri has donated a copy of Barbara Abbey’s Knitting Lace! (An awesome book for lace knitters). The rest of you might want to buy your own Lace on Display, for glorious lace posed on a piece of amazing farm equipment….
LostCity Denise And finally, for Lace Partnership, our Winner is Evenstar
knit in amazing silk by knitsbyteri. Amusingly enough, she will be recieving a 1000 yd skein of Lost City Knits, Oak Barn Merino in the Pucker Up colorway.

By nolaboard, on July 30, 2010, 2:30 pmHere’s the very purple baby blanket in Cotton Fleece by Brown Sheep It’s around 620 yds of baby lace. I think they’ll like it.
By thislittlepiggyknits, on July 30, 2010, 6:54 amFinished up on a prayer shawl for a friend. It’s hand-dyed tensel, lace weight. It’s from my stash and I didn’t keep the ball wrapper. My Bad!!! I think it was 1200 yards and I used a good 1000 of it!! The best thing is, It’s Not a PI!!!!! LOL!!!
By cgirl, on July 29, 2010, 1:31 pmThe other day I sat down to knit and realized that my sock bag was missing. At the time, I only had two knitting projects underway, my lemon flower shawl and the Hedara socks. Since I couldn’t work on the shawl until I got more beads, and my socks had up and walked away (this was Monday, I still haven’t found the socks. I’m wondering if they’re accompanying the roaming gnome on his trip) I started another lace project.
It took me a bit to realize this counted as lace. I started the lace pattern for a very practical reason: I didn’t think I had enough yarn to finish a non-lace bag. Additionally, it seems odd when I add lace to a practical project; for some reason I seem to think of lace as something that should be done just for beauty. Unfortunately for the bag, I’ve now got beads so it’s back to lemon flower. My bag will be pouting from the sidelines where it’ll be forgotten for while By janineny2001, on July 29, 2010, 8:34 amWell, I cast on for the Emily Dickinson KAL. I am using Mountain Colors Winter Lace in Deep Blue and size 6 needles. I am beading as well using the Super Floss method. I only have the cast-on picture because I use lots of lifelines and you don’t get a great picture with all the white perle cotton. Here’s the picture, I hope:
By cgirl, on July 28, 2010, 6:33 pmI competed in the local county fair. I think I did pretty well, if I must say so myself.
I did not, alas, take the grand champion ribbon. But everything I entered got a ribbon: the brown and gray shawl in the first picture, the light blue socks and green bolero in the second, and the green/white bag in the third picture. I lucked out and got to meet the lady who won the grand champion ribbon, she was checking the results the same time I was. I didn’t get her name, but the winning socks where the “falling leaves” lace pattern. So, if you haven’t missed it yet, go compete in the county fair. It’s great bragging rights.

won the runner up prize for Lace Partnership! Her prize? two skeins of Soft Touch Ultra Merino yarn from
Buffy and Don at Shelridge Farms will send whatever color she chooses. And that pretty much sums up the runners up prizes. (Well, except for the Viewers’ Choice bit, but we have to finish the voting first). So, the Winner of the Yardage Competition. Our winner managed to knit 7200 yards of yarn into lace. In three months. I think perhaps she does nothing else. And so, I challenge her to knit more large lace items, but doubling up on the prizes she’s already won. Yes, that’s right, I have two more skeins of that lovely Misti Alpaca lace from
And I’m going to be sending them to thislittlepiggyknits! (7200 yards! yowsa)! Tomorrow …. Judged Category Winners… By thislittlepiggyknits, on July 28, 2010, 7:46 amI’m still hooked on the PI!!! I think I may have to have electroshock therapy or something to get this center off my mind!!! I can’t seem to go another direction!!! I did this as a baby blanket for a friend of my DH’s.
Then there’s the sweater…… oh, yes, same center!!!
