This weekend I made some headway despite stopping and starting for 100 other errands and the intense heat that makes my hands clammy and knitting hard. Here pictured is two patterns repeated but I accomplished three so far. Two more then I start decreasing for arm holes. The pattern looks pretty self explainitory from my first complete read through. It’s pretty easy to finish a pattern repeat a day, even on a work night. I don’t have the whole lace pattern memorized but when I recap each line when I start it, it is quick sailing through each one. Maybe it’s due to being squished on a twelve inch needle but the lace “lily” pattern does seem to hollow and seem like the cup of a calla lily. I’m sure when blocked and streached on my body it will be less pronounced. Still, it’s an interesting detail of this lace.

This is such a beautiful pattern and color choice. I can not wait to see the finished product.

Hi! Just discovered your blog and I must say that I love it! I too love everything vintage although I have never taken the plunge to knit from a vintage pattern. After seeing your work, I think I’ll eventually have a go…
