I’ve finally found the time to put my head above the parapet on this blog. I’m Di from Devon – Yarnzie on Ravelry – and have been bitten hard by the lace bug. I have so many lace things (all shawls) that I want to knit that its going to take me a time to sort out what I want to do for this KAL. Certainly, finishing my Tiger’s Eye Stole will be on the list, which I stopped because I broke a needle. That meant I started something else while I was waiting to get the new needle, and poor old Tiger’s Eye has been in time out ever since. He sits there staring balefully me from his project bag – so he’s a definite.
Currently, I’m working on Large Rectangle with Diamond Pattern Centre from Victorian Lace Today. I was doing really well but yesterday I tripped over the yarn and pulled the whole lot out! And because I’d been cocky careless, I didn’t have a lifeline to save me. Fourteen pattern repeats bit the dust! Depending on where I am with that when we start, that might have to take precedence.
I’d like to do two more projects as well -perhaps the Wool Peddler’s Shawl in time for autumn, and something else maybe from VLT.
Ideas above my station? Yeah, possibly!
Hi Yarnzie!!! You made it!
I think we all have high ambitions for getting a lot of lace done this summer – let’s hope we get done MOST of what we aspire to do!
I so love working beads now on my shawl(s) – even though it is really slowing me down, but I know that the speed will pick back up with time and experience. So, I think I might knock out a scarf or two (without beads) so I feel that I am accomplishing SOMETHING this summer!!
