Another UFO bites the dust

I’m still working on UFO’s that have been gathering dust for ages.  This one is “Salmon Queen”, a pattern by Herbert Niebling.  I used Flora #50 on US 000 needles.

So many projects, so little time!  I still have several other UFO’s to work on so maybe by the Fall/Winter edition of Season of Lace I will actually start and finish a project on this blog LOL.

  • A lovely piece of lace.

    • Dear knitsbyteri,

      Thank you :-) I’m happy to finally finish this one. I sometimes cast-on too many projects at once and then have to choose what to finish first.

  • Just stunning…wow, I’m absolutely in awe (read: jealous!). Someday I’ll get there…

    • I’m happy you like it :-) It was fun to knit but I’d like to do something a little larger next time with a change of thread from Flora which I use a lot. You will get there if you keep at it I’m sure! I find knitting lace so relaxing that I just get a lot of practice at it.

  • WOW! Stunning. unbelievably gorgeous. You should be very proud of this piece.

    • Dear meredith,

      I really enjoy making the Niebling doilys. Most of the credit for how this looks is due to his beautiful patterns. I just follow them :-) I’m really glad you like how it came out. I hope more people get a chance to knit his patterns. Lacis in Berkeley has a few nice books with his works in them and they are starting to re-print his patterns so anyone who is interested might have a chance to knit one. They just printed “Lyra” and it’s in English!
