My First Lace Project

[catheryn]

 

 

It is hard to tell from the pictures, because the dang bedspread is so busy. This is actually my second piece of lace knitting. This is the Forest Canopy Shawl pattern I found on Ravelry. For this one, I use the bare Merino/Silk laceweight blend from Knitpicks with size 6 needles. It turned out really lovely. And so very light.....perfect to throw over your shoulders during the spring and summer evenings!!

It is gorgeous. And very ambitious for your FIRST lace project! I love knitting lace. The first few rows are always the hardest, getting the hang of the pattern, but then it is a lot of fun.

 

Thanks for sharing!

very beautiful! I love how knitted lace look but unfortunately I'm not that patient when it comes to knitting with small threads.

OMG!!!! That's beautiful!!!! What a wonderful job you did!!

 

I love making lace! I caught the lace bug while making socks, and decided to try a shawl. I'm making the Vine Stitch Wrap from Vogue's Knitting on the Go, and it's turning out great.
