Last time you met Emily she had a border, and that was about it… Then I got in the plain garter stitch, and was so bored that I was desperate to add the beads, asa result I just kept knitting, and knitting, and before I knew it I could add some beads! After that the [...]

I’m back in to knitting lace and it feels good! After months of knitting a sweater for my boyfriend I can finally devote some time to knitting lace and it’s fantastic. I cast on Emily Dickinson a couple of nights ago and have just finished off the border. I’m knitting using some mystery brown lace [...]

Two seasons late, I am finally casting on Emily Dickinson. It has taken me three days to knit enough for a picture so I think we can safely class this as my ‘slow lace’ of the season. I am using a qiviut blend and it is beautifully soft. The beads are clear frosted; very simple [...]
Well, I finally got some pictures taken of the two projects I started over the summer and finished over the last month or so. The first is my testing for my shetland lace shields scarf. The yarn is some I bought from one of our sponsors, Sheepy Time Knits – Fairy Lace (70% alpaca, 20% [...]

I don’t know if we are allowed to post after 21st of September so I am posting blocking pictures of my Baltic blossoms lace shawl. Knitted in Wollmeise 100% superwash – natur.

On January 23, 2008, I cast on for a lovely shawl called Irtfa’a (Ravelry Link). Just to put things into perspective… it was later that summer that Seasons of Lace was born. Thursday evening, Irtfa’a looked like this: On Friday morning, she looked like this: note the cleaner water? On Friday afternoon, she looked like [...]

At long last, Irtfa’a is done! Here is a picture of it blocking: I first began this shawl in January of 2008. So 3 months shy of 3 years it took me to knit this thing! I am glad to have it and glad to have knitted it, but equally glad to have it in [...]

Most times, when you are knitting lace, until the “magic” of blocking happens, it looks like just a knotted up pile of yarn. My Mysterious Emily, I must say, does not fit the bill. This yarn/bead combo (Habu stainless steel and black onyx beads) is just so perfect, that it looks beautiful, even when tossed [...]
