Also, thread crocheters don't need to be left out. I worked a swatch (not sure where it is at the moment) in #10 thread using a Size 11 knitting needle for the broomstick pin. It's more fiddly than yarn but looks very neat.

I thought I'd post an update. I haven't had much time to work on this so I haven't gotten very far with the broomstick lace...but I just love it. I thought I would also show you a pick of my afghan while I was at it. This is going to be my afghan.

Oh My Goodness, That is beautiful. That is broomstick lace! I have heard of it, And I have seen that pattern before, but never knew it was broomstick. Wow, I have got to try this. It looks somewhat easy. I will probaly mess it up, But I have got to give it a try. Now to think of what yarn I have in my stash that will look that good.

Thanks for sharing this, I've always wanted to try the broomstick crocheting but I was very intimidated. With help from this thread, I'm going to give it a try....Lynne

Me, too! This has completely captured me, and it's rather bad timing, since I'm already wrapped up in several WIPs as it is. LOL I've started a file in my crochet folder just for this, though, and as soon as I can commit to another project, I want to try this. I have some cheap yarn to practice on, then want to use some very nice cashmere to make a new scarf for my mom. This looks like it would make a gorgeous scarf, and that would be a great Christmas present to make up this summer.

 

Thanks loads!

I'm totally captured too. I put all my WIPS in the closet except the broomstick project and the afghan that I had in the pictures. If anyone else picks this up please post some pics.

I love broomstick lace. It is so nice and fast to do. My aunt made me a scarf many years ago and I just had to learn how to do it.

 

Maybe my next project will involve that stitch again. I haven't done it for a long time.

 

Good luck everyone. It's an awesome stitch.

Triple crochet, to me, was more intimidating than broomstick lace.

I'll have to pull out the belt I made last summer using thread. It makes really pretty scarves for spring fall, but because of the holes, they are not so great for winter.

 

I have it in the back of my mind to make a skirt for my self with broomstick lace, but I need to get cabled knitting needles first. And finish my WIPs.
