Seasons of Lace

First of all I want to say how much I have enjoyed the Summer of Lace. It has been really great and I accomplished more than I could have imagined! I have learned so much about lace knitting, what I like and what I don’t, patterns and yarn. I have learned how to push through and finish something even when I really don’t want to. I was able to use up some of the yarn in my stash, especially for the Bird’s Nest Stole, which had been in there over five years.

 I would also like to thank everyone for the nice comments left about my projects. I’m sorry if I did not get back to you. Barbie did end up having a fabulous wedding and orders from all her friends have been pouring in. My daughter has taken up knitting and is keeping with it. She has big dreams of the things she can make.

I was so glad when I finished my final lace project, so I was surprised to find myself seeing so many more lace things I want to knit.

In the end I had a final total of 21 projects - 5 shawls, 4 stoles (Mystery Stole 4 and Secret of the Stole 3 are not complete), 4 pairs socks, 2 scarves, 1 bag and 5 misc. items for a total of 8,246 yards. Everything is pictured above except the items I have already given away.

Thanks again to everyone for their encouragement, it has been a productive summer.
