Ut oh. Am I starting several posts with those two words? Oh, well. I have discovered that I adore lace. It's so pretty and gorgeous and unique and... Okay, and I also love the fine yarns that you use to create the designs. My friend and I both agree that we don't like going above DK weight anymore.
So, I came across a Ravelry user who knits almost nothing but lace. Oh, my. I don't know what she does with all of it, but you can tell she doesn't really care. She has done some stunning work and I'd love to do what she has done.
I'm looking at my little Vernal Equinox shawl and realize that it has taught me much. First off, it has introduced me to the love of lace patterns. Okay, not really. I've always loved the look of lace. But it has taught me that I CAN do it, with a little patience and perseverance. That's all that matters, right? Of course it is. I'm getting ready to pull it back out of my bag that keeps it safe while I'm working on it, and continue working away. I'm so close to finishing it. I'm getting a little paranoid at how quick my yarn ball is shrinking, but I'll keep plugging away. If I run out of yarn first, I'll decide what to do from there. Yeah. Okay. First things first! Do I run out of the pattern first or yarn? Let's go find out. :-)
