Lavender & Lace
|
This months theme is Lavender & Lace! Lace is very popular right now. All the yarn companies have their lace weight yarn as part of their line and for good reason, lace work. You are seeing lace shawls, lace socks, lace edgings on baby blankets and lace collars on sweaters, even open work hats. The color purple is also very popular right now too - SO I am combining the two here on this page. Email over photos of your lace work, and/or your purple (lavender) work. Knitting or crochet, I think this will be a very fun month. Here is my email addy: mary@americasknitting.com |

We are starting this page off with a lace wrap knit by Carmel Creager of Seattle, Washington. The Anisett Wrap was knit for her brothers fiance for their upcoming October wedding. Carmel used two balls of Rowan Kidsilk Haze in colorway Pearl, and a size 9 needle. Now Carmel is doing a scarf size version using Trendsetter Kid Seta in colorway Vanilla. It's really gorgeous and what a thoughtful gift for your new sister in law. You can find the pattern for this wrap in the book Pretty Knits, ask for it at your LYS. Carmels LYS is So Much Yarn, also of Seattle, Washington. Thank you Carmel, for getting us started here!
