Knitting Lace

Progress at last..........
So last month I began my first lace project. Sure last Summer I had given lace knitting a go, but I didn’t get very far with my Clementine Shawlette. In March I stated the Interweave -Juliet Scarf. Lovely pattern, but my goodness this pattern was giving me a headache. For a beginner this lace pattern this was not the “easy” pattern. It was a bit confusing and I keep dropping my yarn over. So instead of giving up, as I am guilty of doing quite often, I decided to find another pattern. In my quest to find the perfect beginners lace pattern I found the Luscious Lace Scarf by Knitting Pixie. This pattern was a dream come true.

I found this pattern easy to follow. It had what is called a resting purl row, much needed when you are trying not to drop your stitches and keep your head in order. The pattern called for 64 co stitches, I reduced it to 40 because I am using the Fable Baby Alpaca yarn in DK weight. I also only have 2 skeins of the yarn so I need to make sure I had enough to make a decent size scarf.

I am have halfway through my pattern and am loving it. I highly recommend this pattern to anyone looking to try a knitting lace and reading charts. It’s an ego booster for sure!!!
