The Guild Holiday Project
December 5th, 2007Remember this?
Now that Beth has picked up her package from Christina.. and called me.. and gushed (blush)...
If you've forgotten, this started out as 4oz of alpaca/merino blend roving, spun into a lace single, and I used Evelyn Clark's book, "Knitting Lace Triangles". I didn't like the book at first since it seemed confusing and limiting. But as I worked through the shawl and figured out that there were endless variations when you apply the different lace repeats with their transitions, especially when you think about the visual difference of garter and stockinette. So you can now call me a fan of this book. I was going to sell it off once I was done with this project, but now it will be a staple in my library.
And lastly, let me share a picture of all of the items that were gifted at the holiday guild party..
Around a year ago on this day..

- SuperMom (and why I'm not one) - 2005

It is beautiful and Beth graciously allowed me to model it for her before she took it away forever.
When you get a minute, can you send me a pic of all the projects for the newsletter? Thanks!
