Yesterday when I was in the full grip of madness, I decided to cast on a lace project.


It's a pretty simple zig-zag pattern (spotting a theme?) that I downloaded for free from here. I recommend clicking around the knitting pattern galleries on that site because there's quite a few cute little patterns from Rowan and Debbie Bliss to be had for free. The yarn is somewhere between lace and fingering weight and I think I have 600 yards. I say think becuase the person I bought it from on Ebay has since changed the specs on their yarn. Whatever, I'm going to knit until I run out anyway so it might end up 100 yards worth of yarn shorter than anticipated. whatever.

  1. Ah, River! gorgeous colour. I'm thinking of casting on for a lace shawl myself, but I'm worried about the commitment.
