I am so absolutely determined to get good at lace. I have now embarqued on a challenging lace shawl project. I am doing a pi shawl as per Elizabeth Zimmermann intructions. I was just going to make it plain in between increases but as my friend said..."it's not that hard you know" so I took that as a challenge and here goes. I hope to finish it this year so that when my eldest daughter Emily decides to start a family she will have a shawl for the baby and it can stay in the family as an heirloom.
I am knitting it in a natural thinner than 2 ply wool. Am not really into natural colours but I might be able to dye it later.
I will have to keep blogging aboot it so that people don't think I've forgotten about it.
I am in complete and utter awe. Knitting in thinner than 2ply wool - I can't even contemplate it and can't wait to see it develop!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, you have to wait until it's done before you're in awe.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about Dunedin is that there are some many amazing craftswomen that you always want to try new things and improve yourself.
Hope you are inspired to give it a go.
