As one of your trusty lace mavens, I’m just tellin’ you, we need to knit lace!  I just made a shawl in 64 hours.  My children are starving and have no clean clothes, but my Swallowtail is done.

I get an error and can’t post. But if I click on site admin, I can post. I probably shouldn’t be able to get into the site admin as just a participant, no? But then, I wouldn’t have been able to do what I’m doing now!

Looking for newbie pattern suggestions

I’m excited to participate in Seasons of Lace KAL – I haven’t done a KAL before.  I’m not much on planning, but think it would probably be a good idea to have some ideas before starting, since I can lose 4 hours on ravelry without noticing.  So, I’m looking for some lovely lace sock pattern recommendations, . . . → Read More: Looking for newbie pattern suggestions Read more »
