Heyya, its been awhile since I've updated and have landed on my new obsession: LACE :D
I'm obsessed with all the nuances and skills of lace making and will hopefully be enrolling on a lace making course shortly :D
In the mean time, I have enough knitting skill to start off some lace knitting so I've constucted some oriental inspired belts which I will update pictures :D and tried to follow
but its not working all well as I'd hoped...the central stitch of the piece (ktbl) isn't staying in the centre so I may have to adapt the pattern to my own needs :)
I'm obsessed with starting this kit (above and below left)
I'm trying desperately to get Knitpicks to send it to here in the UK as they only ship USA/Canada! >_<>
Also, I'd got it into my head that I was gonna knit it up for my mum's birthday in December and it'll be a huge let down to not be able to make it for her :(
Anyway, I've included the video of the designer of the Chinook lace shawl, Nina (don't know her surname :/ ) as its fascinating to see her design process for knitting lace. I love it :D If it doesn't load here the linky :)
