I know everyone has said how addicting lace is, and it's so true. But playing with some ideas, charting out your own lace design, then knitting it and seeing it actually come out looking like a pattern? It is so cool! I'm always a bit surprised when the stuff in my head actually works. The little piece done doesn't look like much unblocked and all, but spreading it out in light has given me a pretty good idea of the finished look, well hopefully.
This is going to be a choker style necklace with a wide ribbon woven through the center column of "super eyelets" (as I've dubbed them) that ties in the back. It's essentially two lace edgings knit at the same time facing opposite directions. I'm imagining two little delicate loop button closures at the top and bottom also.

It looks cool ... loving the colour! Can't wait to see it finished.
Yes, lace is very addictive! ^^ My Snow White shawl keeps growing 12 cm everyday!
Lace is great fun. CAn't wait to see the choker.
It was nice meeting you today, hope to see you at another SnB!
You've come up with some really great patterns. I definately see them in my future. I hope we didn't scare you off of Stitch N Bitch today!
It was great meeting you at the SnB yesterday. I, too, hope that you won't be either scared or bored off from attending another one. It really was much milder than normal. (I must of been off my game. darn.)I love the picture of the saris a couple of posts down, and your puppy in the wild flowers is adorable. Hope to see ya' back on another Sunday (but I promise not to stalk... much).
