Lyra
This was a project originally started for Ravelympics, but it didn’t get finished in time. I knitted this project everywhere I went, trying to finish, but oh, well (18 days). Unfortunately, theres a bit of an odd stain on a couple of parts of this table topper. I tried an Oxyclean bath, but there’s still splotches on it. (does that count as a tragedy?)
This is knit w/ a little more than 2 balls of DMC Cordonnet thread #100 using US000 needles.
Btw–the pattern is Lyra, by Herbert Niebling– can be purchased from Lacis in Berkeley. It’ a fun knit. I highly recommend it. Total yardage? 991yds.

Your Lyra came out just beautiful! Can’t really see any stains in that picture but you might bring it down to Lacis to see if they have any suggestions on what to try next to remove them. I know they have a few cleaning products they reccomend when trying to clean older textiles so maybe they will have a solution. Stains or not, your knitting is super!
OMG when I grow up I wanna be able to knit lace like this.. Absolutely stunning!
You did a beautiful piece of work. I recently bought the pattern and your piece makes me wonder if I should move it up in the queue.
Lovely!
simply beautiful–an inspiration!
