Well, I’m here.
Not quite sure what I’m planning for the summer yet. I tend to use handspun for nearly everything I do, but on the other hand I have some gorgeous lace yarns in for my Etsy shop, so perhaps I ought to use some of that. I have lots of cobweb, but do I really want to knit something under pressure in cobweb? There’s a fingering weight in merino/alpaca, so perhaps I could do something clever with dyeing it? Or I’ve just done a couple of skeins of a really lightweight but thick-looking handspun in dark brown with green streaks - it would make lovely lacey sleeves. And warm too. Or perhaps not. We’ll see.

What pressure?
There’s only pressure if you enter one of the quantity competitions. Otherwise, it’s just easy breezy lace knitting!
And that handspun — gets you into another raffle class….
What Helen Said!! - No Pressure, just fun!
Welcome and Congrats on being our First (non moderator) post!
p.s. I am impressed that you spin well enough to knit lace with it . . . I don’t spin anywhere even enough for that yet.
