Lace

Lace is fascinating to me. I've tried various lace techniques (bobbin and needle included) and, for me, knitting lace is the most satisfying. A yarn over makes a little hole; a decrease makes a slightly raised area. Combine them and you have shapes.

My current knitting projects are shawls with lace. One is a finer gauge navy blue circular one. It has bands of Celtic knot and key designs. There are a few free charts for these patterns on my web site. The second is a Faroese style with lace in the center panel.

Knit on.
