Of Lace and Binding
Ooo, that sounds kind of kinky doesn’t it?? LOL!
I’m kind of up to my eyeballs in binding (books that is, remember my mention of a commission, well it needs to be in the mail early next week) at the moment so don’t have a lot of time (hence no pictures, sorry). But, I got my needle felting needles and some additional roving and some button options worked out so the sidekicks should be officially complete and added to the sidebar soon. Then two skeins of Nature Spun Sport in Roasted Coffee and 3 oz of Zephyr in Copper also made it into my purchases.
I think I need to do a different lace pattern than the Shaped Triangle and then return to the Shaped Triangle at a later date. I love Sivia Harding’s Fantasy Diamond Scarf/Shawl but suspect it isn’t really a beginning lace project. And I’m guessing the same holds true for the Weeping Willow Shawl that I had mentioned to Snow on Monday night. Then Amanda just finished Fibertrend’s Leaf Lace Shawl in Zephyr Steel and it is great (I love the bead detailing on the edge) and she said it was quite simple. But, I also really like the Flower Basket Shawl and I know many people have done that as their first shawl project. I also really like the Highland Trangle Shawl from Folk Shawls, but that requires more yardage than I have and is a heavier weight yarn. Decisions, decisions!
So, if anyone cares to weigh in on this topic, please, please, please do so as I’m itching to get going on a shawl project but am aprehensive given the Shaped Triangle debaucle…
