It’s been WAY too long since I’ve picked up a lace project…Hiawatha scarred me a bit - lol…so, I finally decided to take the plunge and start on the Frost, Flowers and Leaves Shawl from A Gathering of Lace Book. I’ve loved this shawl since I purchased the book 3 years ago but […]

Very hard to get clear pictures with this horrible camera and the colors of this yarn are […]

I am, however, on repeat 7 of 10 of this long portion. Once I […]
I’ve gotten the hang of this chart finally - it’s routine now (thank God) and I owe that clarity to the fantastic stitch markers my buddy Becky made for me (the are letters that correspond with the various chart changes throughout this section - total GODSEND!!).
I’m almost done with the third repeat of rows […]
