I now have three scarfs in progress, thanks to a yarn sale and Knitted Lace of Estonia. That book is dangerous. First, the Anti-Lace Scarf. It’s a simple lace pattern from Lace and Eyelets with aran-weight yarn and size 11 needles. Then we have the Woodlands Triinu, the first lace I’ve ever made that looks [...]

So, this started as the December Knit-along from Beginning Lace Knitters, but then I got distracted. As of the start of Winter of Lace it was at 150 yards knitted. It’s bigger now. Next I need to go find the camera and take pictures of the two lace scarfs in progress.

I give you my prize yarn. The color’s actually pretty good for being taken at 10 pm indoors. I plan to make a circular shawl out of some of it. Anyone care to suggest patterns and/or color combos? The balled yarn will be a scarf, which I will start tomorrow during the elections. Oh, and [...]

I finished my Diamond Latttice scarf this morning. Sadly, I will not be able to post a fo picture. My mom put the camera someplace safe and now has no idea where it is. Here’s a random picture of it earlier… Anyway, 350 yrds down, bringing me to a grand total of either…(FOs only) 694 [...]

So, you know when you’ve got things on the needles and they aren’t going overly well, and other yarn and patterns come calling? Yup, that’s where I am. I cast on for the Half Square in Trinity Stitch shawl on Wed, and on Sunday came to a horrible conclusion.  This shawl’s worked from a side [...]

?I don’t really go on vacation, but I do go to DragonCon (biggest Sci-fi and Fantasy Con in the SE USA). It is crazy and bizarre and fun, and this year I decided to add to the bizarre by… making random people hold my lace scarf in progress and taking their picture (ala the Yarn [...]
Well, a week of being sick has surprisingly resulted in much knitting. Mostly mindless. Since I have nothing interesting to say, I give you pictures instead. That would be my original pattern shawl, and yes, I know the lace is lost in the color. I’m almost done with the second ball of Silky Malabrigo, with [...]

Does anyone else ever feel like they’ve gone completely and utterly insane? I’ve been knitting since January, right? I’ve finished a total of three lace pieces, two scarves and a shawl. And now, what am I doing? Designing my own lace triangular shawl and knitting it. So far, I’ve gone through 160 yards of yarn, [...]

It is done (or rather it was done on Saturday, but I had to wait till I weighed it to know how much yarn I used). That is 1388 yards of lace (according to the shipping scale at work and my l33t conversion skills). I held the yarn double throughout, so mods, you may want [...]

So, I finally got around to taking (bad) pictures of my new WIPs. First, the Diamond Lattice Scarf (from Victorian Lace Today, and I believe the pattern’s called something like Scarf with Open and Closed Diamonds). I’m knitting this on size 5(US) instead of the recommended size 7s, so it’s far less lacy-looking than the [...]
