project 365

Er, hi!

I’ve mostly been lurking about on Ravelry and not here. Which is terrible of me, really. Must do better.

I have been knitting though! This is my first attempt at a proper lace project and it’s the Cheshire Cat stole by Big Alice in Pagewood farm’s Willow Creek lace-weight (colourway: Golden). I’ve decided to do the beaded version while I’m at it because how can I resist the shiiiiny things?

It’s going very well so far – I’ve only had to rip back once *knocks wood* – and it’s actually a couple more repeats in than the picture shows. It’s an absolutely gorgeous pattern and once I’d got over the whole ‘arrrgh!’ of first time lace, I’ve taken to it like a duck out of water.
