Finally, after much pattern tweaking here she is – the Emelia Lace Choker. Add a little lace flare to almost any outfit. Wear it over a high neck shirt or a more dramatic neckline. This piece is knit lengthwise and is essentially two lace edgings facing in opposite directions with a center column of enlarged eyelets between them. I really wanted to make a very complete pattern and it took a little longer but I’m pretty pleased with the results. Included are both the written out lace instructions and the charted design in scalable, easy to read format.
The upper lace is my variation of an 1890′s rosebud pattern. The bottom edging calls to mind the rose’s thorns and the pattern looks of little stems and leaves. Two delicate button loops worked in the bind-off row and ribbon woven through the center eyelets secure the piece in the back.

It’s lovely!! If I had a neck I’d be all over making one for myself :)

Mmm … I see another Anna Bell (different style, maybe) in the making! Not my usual garment item, but it is beautiful! Congratulations!
(Anna is one of my favourite knit-blogger designer.)
WOW!… I just said “Wow!…” when I saw the finished choker. It’s amazingly beautiful! (And you are beautiful, of course, this blue colour really suits you!) I hope to find my Paypal account details and buy the pattern soon. ^^
That looks great!
Another amazing design!
A beautiful and elegant new design, J! I love the way it looks on you!
I really like the way you combined the two different laces. It looks great on you. Thanks for the nice comments on my Magknits pattern, BTW (re. the cover photo, it always helps to have a cute model!).
Wow.. that is beautiful! I love the blue.. it looks so pretty on you too! Lace makes me crazy with a capital C but I’m going to have to try it anyway.. it will be great when the weather gets cooler here in Georgia (whenever the heck that is)

Hallo, das ist ja einmal was Anderes hier. Ich hab mir eine Lesezeichen gespeichert.
Hello, fantastic web-site you’ve got right here, but I simply had to let you know as to what could most likely certainly be a internet browser compatibility matter. I am running Windows Vista 64 bit along with Safari, and the formatting is all messed up. It’s just a little bit hard to see a number of parts of your blog, and I am running my resolution at 1680 x 800. I’m sure you did not aim for your website to appear so strange, and so is there any way you are able to help me solve this issue?
This is absolutely gorgeous, It’ll be the perfect addition to my steampunk costume (I’ve been looking for a good lace collar pattern!). I will definitely be purchasing this when I’ve learned a bit more about lace!
hey dude this is awesome
