Sad, sad, sad!

By drmonica, on June 30th, 2008%

I had to FROG the shawl!!!!! I noticed (after 17 repeats!) that there was suspiciously little yarn left, and the size of the shawl was not something I liked, so, after thinking a bit and reading the instructions i noticed that the whole darn thing was made with smaller needles than called for !!!!

What’s your line?

By littlelena, on June 30th, 2008%

I’ve knit a couple of lace items with fingering weight yarn and I’m not really sure I care for the fabric. It is not light enough to be lace and it is not heavy enough to just be something with a lace pattern. I really like things like tops and sweaters that have a good portion of lace . . . → Read More: What’s your line? Read more »

My Grandson was over for the better part of the day so I didn’t get as much knitting finished as yesterday. Instead we spent the day playing and eating cookies I’m hoping to finish a . . . → Read More: Today’s Progress Read more »

More Sponsors! More Prizes! More Lace!

By ShadowDancer, on June 30th, 2008%

As you may or may not know, I’m in the midst of an annual road trip to my mom’s in Maine. We’ve arrived safely after a week of driving and visiting and generally having a good time.

While I’ve been playing and driving, folks have been continuing to lend their support to our KAL.

Is/has anyone else knitting/knitted/fitted a lace garment?

By dplantlady, on June 30th, 2008%

Hi all,

I posted this in the lace knitter’s forum, but haven’t gotten any responses… so, apologies if you’ve already seen it.

Maybe someone here can give me a little direction…

Hi anyone,

Soooo many people are making lace shawls, scarves, wraps, etc. and they are all quite gorgeous & I lust after them, but I’m just not . . . → Read More: Is/has anyone else knitting/knitted/fitted a lace garment? Read more »

Weekend knitting

By JessieLynn, on June 30th, 2008%

First things first. I amused myself over the weekend. Saturday morning I finished up clue 2 of my mystery shawl. I inserted another lifeline. This lifeline was much easier to insert with the circular needles. I was pretty proud of myself. I printed out clue 3 and proceeded to knit. I knew I was not going . . . → Read More: Weekend knitting Read more »

Well, I learned some important things over the past week. First, never attempt to knit lace while sleep-deprived and stressed out at a hospital. Things will not go well. Thankfully, I caught myself before I really screwed things up. Also, my mom will need me at the precise moment I’m trying to do something complicated, and . . . → Read More: Read more »
