I still love knitting socks. I won’t deny it. But lately, I’ve totally been bitten by the lace-knitting bug. I LOVE it. I love the delicate patterns that emerge chrysalis-like from my needles. I love the sleek lace yarns. I love the change — from bunchy lace post-needles to the post-blocked creation. It’s just so intricate and gorgeous. I love the idea of knitting sweaters, but they seem so tedious to me. I think I have found my calling. I love my sock yarns, but I think I might very well be a lace knitter. Who knew? There’s such a lovely ritual to following the charts and watching this delicate garment emerge from my needles. It is, dare I say, cathartic…
I’d love to post photos of my lace projects in progress, but shhh….they’re secret and holiday gifties. Later.
Well whenever you post them, I’d love to see them. I have not taken the plunge into lace, although I have a couple of patterns that I like just waiting.
