Hello! Looking back, my last post here was for my Evenstar FO last year! Well, it’s been about time for some new lace, and this is my followup to last year’s loveliness: This is the 2010 Goddess Anniversary Shawl, minus the knit-on edging. I knit it from August of last year to April of this [...]

I’m finally finished with my Evenstar, just in time to start knitting for Summer of Lace! I was knitting on the shawl pretty much exclusively from May 2nd through today, July 4th. So I guess it spans two seasons, but that’s okay. Pattern: Evenstar, by Susan Pandorf Yarn: Claudia Silk Lace, teal colorway. I used [...]

I’m up to clue 4 in the Evenstar Mystery Shawl. (Better pictures of finished lace here.) Starting this shawl is what took a lot of out my Swallowtail shawl knitting (seen below). I admit I was arrogant starting this shawl. I’ve knit Pi shawls before, and even created square shawls from triangular patterns. I’m an acocomplished lace knitter [...]

Back what seems a hundered years ago, I started yet another swallowtail. As it happened LostCityDenise was also knitting one, and she finished quite a bit before me. Well, as of last weekend, I finally caught up! I love her! The yarn is Patons Lacette, believe it or not. I had three balls of it [...]

I’m finally done! It took me two season’s worth (last part of winter, first part of spring), but I’ve finally finished knitting Haruni! Here she is blocking: I had to use two boxes of pins to get all those chrochet points! I made a couple modifications to the shawl, which you can’t really see. The [...]

I’ve been slowly knitting along on my Haruni shawl. I’ve loved this since the day it came out, but had to clear out the needles and knit my ravelympics projects. Now that I’ve cleared out the needles and made a slew of hats, I’m ready to hit the lace again! I decided that I wanted [...]

Another lace FO! I finished this piece earlier this month, and I’ve posted it everywhere but here! The main pattern is 198 Yds of Heaven, by Christy Verity. I used Reynolds Whiskey, size 6 needles. I finished about three repeats of the main pattern (including the set-up rows), then decided to have some fun(aka, I [...]

A quick FO, with just a hint of lace. This is the spiral cowl by Keri McKiernan. I used 2 skeins of Maons Silk blend and size 7 circulars. A little larger than the pattern recommends, but still very nice. How great is this colorway? Its like the rainbow you get from an oil sheen, [...]

I’ve finally figured out this darn shawl! For whatever reason, I was stymied by lace yarns. First, I tried a silk lace yarn. It was so thin, and had no give to it. Not good for 2 and 3-into-9′s! Then, I tried my leftover yarn from my Aeolian shawl (I have plenty to use, not [...]
I went to the Lane County, OR Fair today to check on my entry. Guess what I found? I won first prize! The submission was my Aeolian Shawl, which I knit this summer along with the other Summer of Lace knitters! I’d like to give them a shout out, for their help and encouragement. This [...]
