Upstairs

Here is my last lace project for the Season of Lace 2008.  The pattern is Upstairs (Rav link).  The yarn is Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in the Peppermint colorway.  I did four extra pattern repeats to increase the length.  The blocked measurements are 19″ x 60″.  I probably could have stretched it a bit more.  I’ve . . . → Read More: Upstairs Read more »

Snowflake Star Ornament

Just a quick little project.  This is the Snowflake Star by Judy Gibson.  I decided to give a 5-pointed star a try.  I used a metallic thread so it shimmers.  Here’s the link to this project . . . → Read More: Snowflake Star Ornament Read more »

Thanks!  . . . → Read More: Adamas Shawl Read more »

Update on Plans

I’m making a little progress on the Mystery Shawl. I downloaded the final clue for the edging. That on is probably going to take a while since I have never done a knitted on lace edging. I’m thinking about frogging what little I have done on the yellow shawl I started. I’m not sure I want . . . → Read More: Update on Plans Read more »
