I thought and thought long and hard about my next lace project. I even canvassed opinions from the sage and erudite knitters here at Seasons of Lace. I pondered, procrastinated, and pondered some more. I leafed through every book I possess, studied every stitch pattern I could find, and perused every lace pattern known to [...]

My very first lace project was Aestlight: basically, a very big triangle of garter stitch surrounded by a modest two-row lace pattern, of which I still managed regularly to forget whether I was knitting Row A or Row B, and knit a bit of both, quite happily without noticing, [...]

I finished my Three Sister’s Scarf #2. It still needs to be blocked a little. Since it is silk, it won’t take much. Notice how much happier Sunny looks modeling it this time. She knows it’s finished. Little does she know, there are more projects to be cast on.

My Three Sister’s Scarves #2 is coming along well. I’m 2/3 finished. I love this pattern . It is easy enough to memorize but not so much to be boring. Here it is on Sunny . She was not pleased that I asked her to model it. She hates it when I knit. Knitting means my [...]
