Lace Knitting
I have always looked at lace projects in admiration. I love the way they look- the openness of the stitches, the patterns, the intricacies. I decided, being a “fearless knitter” to try lace several years ago. My first project was easy enough – a scarf knit in bulky weight yarn. It had a lace pattern [...]
