So much intricacy, so few stitches - what's not to love?
The Jackie E-S Lace edgings workshop was really interesting. Above are some of the samples I knit in class along with our workbook material. I have had some design projects in my head that would incorporate a lot of these techniques and had several questions about certain aspects. This 7 hour class covered all of them. I like knowing more than just how to knit a pattern or stitch but how it works together, what different parts are used and for what reasons. Jackie was a fun, pleasant and patient teacher, I would definitely take anything she offers in the future. So, being inspired- a new project using some lace edgings hopefully posted tomorrow.
Lace Leaf Pullover
Progress shot
Finished up a sleeve and starting on the body. Note: do not attempt twisted ribbing when brain is not all there - falling into the habit of regular 1x1 waaay to easy.
PDF Pattern
The Ropes and Ladders Scarf is now also available in pdf format. Thanks K. Anne of JustCinful for creating it! Download link also in the sidebar.
Oh, and Mom if you're reading this, Happy Birthday!

interesting
That lace looks great and I would certainly incorporate that into some sort of design. So intricate and pretty. BTW, I sooo wanted to make that lace leaf pullover. too but couldn't justify the purchase of the book for one pattern!
Thanks chibisan. The lace leaf pullover was also published in Interweave Knits Summer 2005. That's what I'm working from. You could probably get a back issue for much less than the whole book.
how cute are those pink sock tops?? and i think your mendhi-nails are cool :) totally subscribing to your blog today!
