Seasons of Lace

We figured we did so well we deserved our own URL. So now we are at www.seasonsoflace.com! All of the old posts and registrations have been moved over.  We are still tweaking out the new place so be gentle, but let us know if you have any problems.

We won’t be posting at this site anymore, all of the new stuff for the Winter 2008-2009 Knit-along will happen at the new site.  Also if you read this site on a feed, you will need to go over there and subscribe to the feed there.

We are filing the rough edges off the rules, hoping to make this whole process simpler for us and more fun for you. The rough draft is up at the new site, so when you wander over there you can take a look.

See you on the flip side!

Here are my beautiful price yarns from Andie at Renaissance Dyeing and Freyalyn

Cobweb…. Propably my next challenge for Winter Of Lace Either of these might end up as the “Fern garden scarf” that Andrea at Bad Cat Designs graciously donated.

THANK YOU ALL, now I get to continue knitting without running out of food for the family!

I received my beautiful silk thread in the mail from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. My picture doesn’t really do it justice but it has wonderful potential. Thank you all

This is the wonderful lace yarn I got today for the Lace Partnership award!!  It’s wonderful!!  My camera doesn’t do it justice!!  It looks like sun shining off a black birds wing….. the name Thraven fits now that I see it!!!

Many thanks to everyone at Seasons of Lace and most of all to Helen for letting go of this wonderful yarn.  I don’t know if I would have been that strong!!!!  LOL!!

I won when the random generator selected me from all the voters! Beautiful, soft laceweight yarn.

My mom really loved the color. I think this 903 yds are meant for her!

And great little stitch markers.

AND… It was mailed from the middle of the U.S. on Monday. Tuesday was a Holiday. I got it in my mailbox on the East Coast on Wednesday! Way to go, USPS!

Thank you, thank you!

We realize there are a LOT of questions here, mostly this comes of us being so new at running this sort of thing and having lots of concerns about trying to make it as good as it can be. As a thank you for going through the whole thing, each person who completes it will be entered into the final raffle of the season!

p.s. this prize offer will be open until 12pm next Monday night.

Just back from Barbados, where I managed to knit some pretty lace cuffs for my cold hands at work–don’t worry, I mostly knit in the plane!

On arriving home, I’d received a lovely sock pattern from Joyknits designs (hearts ‘n hugs lace socks) and the knitpicks lace sampler, in the sunset hues.  Since those are not my colors, Knit picks has kindly allowed me to return them for the Sea View sampler!  I’ve never been so lucky at receiving prizes!  Thanks to all!

So a while back I won two free patterns from Pink Lemon Twist.  What a great prize, especially since I’ve been drooling over her patterns for a while.  I chose the Hanami Stole and Moondance.  I’m sure I have the yarn for these in my stash and look forward to the new Winter season to start either one of these projects.   Thank you so much and until next time happy lace knitting!!

Today we look at the Nominees for Lace Extravaganza (10 nominees).

Our Judges had more of a challenge with this category than with the prior two, as there were more than twice as many entries! Once again, I’ve selected what I perceive to be the key photos from the posts, and once again, I’ve linked to each post by title so you can check out the rest of the pictures the author originally listed. The nominees are, in the order in which they were first posted to the Seasons of Lace blog:
