I got a huge whack of yarn for my birthday and Christmas. I know what I'm making with some of it, but I have a bunch of really really thin laceweight that I want to do something with. I have a few ideas, but I don't know what I want to do.
I lovelovelove the "Spiderweb shawl" from Victorian Lace Today, but the loopy lace for the border, the brioche pattern, I hate what it looks like when I knit it up. Plus, the yarn would look silly knit up on 7's.
It would either be the Shetland Lace Shawl from A Gathering Of Lace,
or the "Three Cornered Shawl in Clover Leaf Pattern" from Victorian Lace Today. A beautiful example here
I'm going to work some swatches, I guess, and figure out what I'd actually like.
I'm 27 years old, and I currently am unemployed due to our economy. I work on my car, cook, clean, play computer games, and knit. I'm working on finding a job, every day.
