Seasons of Lace

This is more like a fly by post… It starts with some pesky details on competitions, but swiftly gets to the more fun things .. .like sponsors and my inability to knit lace lately.

First, I wanted to remind you all that in order to submit things for the competitions, you have to include the url for the post with the picture of the thing in question. Someone attempted to register (already??? the game hasn’t even started yet!) a project for the Best Partnership of Yarn With Pattern competition, but did not include a url for the post. That entry (in addition to being disqualified for arriving before the Season Begins) won’t work, since we can’t tell what project is being nominated.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.

I’m having a ball updating the prize page — I keep getting to do happy dances around the room knowing just how marvelous the prize vault is becoming. I also live in fear of what will happen to my visa bill if I succumb to the increasing number of sponsors’ offers. Have you looked lately? Really??

You can get delicious stitch markers from Hide & Sheep, gorgeous hand dyed yarn from ArtsyGal , Briar Rose, A Sheep of a Different Color and Wool Girl, patterns from Goddess Knits, and anything knitterly from Needleworks or Klose Knit. And once the season starts — there’s a buy three get one free deal just for us at Goodies Unlimited. Check out the sponsor page for the specifics and the discount codes. Heck, go often, as I seem to be unable to stop in my nigh-onto-maniacle quest for more treats for you!

When I’m not begging for prizes and discounts, I’m teaching my daughters to knit lace. But I seem to be making very little headway on my own lace knitting.

Boing! is progressing (it’s my mindless knitting now, how nuts is that), but more inches of the same lace doesn’t show much on pictures. Irfa’a is similarly not different enough for a new picture to show much.

Willow is requiring some additional charting fun, the wench, and so is in a paused state.

Oh well.

At least I’m making progress somewhere!
