I’m so happy to have discovered the joys of Lace Knitting AND discovered the existence of Season of Lace all at the same time.  My first lace project is currently on the needles, and about halfway finished. I am knitting up Cheryl Niamath’s Wisp from the Summer 2007 Knitty. I’m using Jade Sapphire Mongolian Cashmere 2-ply, in the Ruby Slippers colorway. Click on the photo to see a big version of the piece in progress.

I’ve been knitting for over 30 years, but my hatred of blocking has prevented me from working beautiful lace patterns in laceweight or cobweb-weight yarn. I’m glad I finally got over my Blockophobia. Now I’ve registered for three different lace KALs, and the yarn stockpiling has begun!
