About

Welcome to the Seasons of Lace.

Seasons of Lace is and will be a sort of repeating KAL for lace knitters. We’re started with Summer of Lace 2008, and followed up with Winter of Lace 2008-2009, Autumn Lace ’09, Winter Lace ’09 and then.. Spring into Lace 2010

With your comments and feedback, you can help guide us to make this a wonderful ongoing celebration of Lace.

How we got started.

Helen was reading Maria’s blog one day. Maria blogged that she’d signed up for the Summer of Lace KAL. Helen got excited — she googled Summer of Lace… she searched Ravelry for the Summer of Lace… — but all she found were KALs from years past. She wrote to Maria… who confessed that what she’d meant to type was Summer of Socks. So Helen said “We should start Summer of Lace”.

And then Helen asked Alyse if she could help set up such a thing, with a blog and stuff.

And Helen up and started a Ravelry group. She’d barely turned it on (and hadn’t yet told either Alyse or Maria about it) when it got 5 members. Maria started up a flick’r group. The Ravelry group suddenly had 63 members.

And then Helen and Alyse foresook their day jobs for about a week to obsessively fuss with design concepts and ways to win prizes and how to write rules and blog styles and stuff until they finally were happy with the website. The Ravelry group had 180 members.

Helen began writing to folks to see if anyone would consider donating prizes.

People began saying yes.

And suddenly…. here we were!
