And then there was lace
[singlepic=21,320,240,,left]
So in my last post I mentioned taking Galina’s Embraceable Lace class. This certainly helped me get over my lace phobia and so with a little coaching from HK and some stitch pattern books, I am working on my first lace project. I decided to do a fairly simple scarf. What you see here is my test swatch. (in its 2nd or third incarnation) I made a deal with myself that I could start on the scarf once I was able to knit two complete rows of the pattern I had selected. Its “horseshoe lace” from more than once stitch book. The sample is knit in Malabrigo Lace weight - the actual scarf will be done in the “Verde” colorway. [singlepic=12,320,240,,right]
BTW I am experimenting with some new gallery/picture plugins here (i suspect you won’t see them if you are seeing this on LJ), if done correctly you should be able to click on each picture and see a pretty blow up of it.

Way to go on the lace thing!
I KNEW you could do it!
btw, I’ve tried to call, and your phone dumps me to voice mail. Have you gotten the messages?
apparently the battery died - and I didn’t get it charged until last night. But weirdly enough it was working on sunday, so it must of been working on saturday. But I didn’t show any missed calls. On the weekends its good to try the home phone as well as the cell.
I don’t need the book though - I own that one, and I am sorry you can’t make it - will you be at D&E’s on Saturday for gaming?
