The Saigon Scarf (and other knitting)

By lacefreak, on July 13th, 2008%

So I’ve been spinning a lot this year as one of my goals is to knit more lace projects with my own hand spun yarns. I purchased some beautiful Madder dyed BFL from “A Verb For Keeping Warm” and spun it with the Majacraft Rose using the lace flyer/fat core bobbin combination. I am using the yarn to knit a . . . → Read More: The Saigon Scarf (and other knitting) Read more »

More on my QAL

By KnatteringKnitter, on July 13th, 2008%

I’m still in the final throes (or is it throws–as in “throws into the trash”…) of my Queen Anne’s Lace. Row 140 of 159 and now it takes 1/2 ball of yarn to go one row. I should finish it this week, maybe even tonight and then on to my next lace project: Ornamental!! Swatching has . . . → Read More: More on my QAL Read more »

My Irish Honeybee

After some tidying up of loose end projects around here I am jumping in to the Honeybee Shawl by Anne Hanson of Knitspot. I’ve picked the beautiful lacewight cashmere “Sophia” from Poshyarn in the “Finch” colorway and it is a joy to work with. The very subdued yellow dances through the green as I knit it . . . → Read More: My Irish Honeybee Read more »

Progress Update and another cast on!

By JessieLynn, on July 11th, 2008%

I finally managed to get some pictures uploaded for my mystery shawl. I believe I had said before that I had finished the third clue. I did the first row of the forth clue last night. It’s kind of strange, I’m still on the first ball of lace. I figured I’d at least have started the . . . → Read More: Progress Update and another cast on! Read more »

Peacock Feathers variant

By tinker, on July 7th, 2008%

Yay, finished Peacock Feathers from Fiddlesticks. Instead of the triangular shawl, I went with the stole version, using the original pattern as guide.

What a lovely fun knit.

This took me a little less than 4oz of zephyr, and a tad under 2 weeks to finish. I knit this by provisional casting on 128 stitches, and then when . . . → Read More: Peacock Feathers variant Read more »

By knitsbyteri, on July 3rd, 2008%

Although I have a number of lace projects going (you can’t have just one), I finally have two that I actually started after June 21st so I feel I can include them in this event.

Please bear with me because I am not a blogger (even if I did software design for more than 20 years and . . . → Read More: Getting started with Seasons of Lace Read more »

Ready to Start – Finally!

By Duckette, on June 27th, 2008%

Okay, I’m revved up and ready to knit for a Season of Lace. I wanted to be fair and start and a logical place in my knitting. I’m currently working on the Slow Bee I lace shawl (I guess I’m slower than a Slow Bee though). Anyway, I had 4 lines to go to finish Clue . . . → Read More: Ready to Start – Finally! Read more »

And I’m off!

By JessieLynn, on June 23rd, 2008%

So yeah, my Season of Lace got off to a rocky start over the weekend. I kept having “issues” with my goddess knits mystery shawl. I’m going for attempt number (I lost track) on magic loop this evening after work. I was doing great on Saturday evening, until I pulled the needle out the wrong direction . . . → Read More: And I’m off! Read more »
