I've written here before that I don't believe in progress-shot overload, but whenever I learn a new skill I like to post one. This time it's my first experience with lace... woo hoo!
This is my progress on Christine's fabulous Lelah strapless top pattern, using the sparkly yarn I recycled a couple of months back. If you squint at the close-up shot, you can see the metallic part of the yarn. The pattern's pretty indistinct, but this is partly due to my yarn choice and, I hope, will improve with blocking.
Whelp, lace knitting, occasionally with a glass of red wine at my side, is all the fun I'm going to have on this wild ride of a week. I hope you all can handle the excitement.

Posted by: semaphoria at April 26, 2005 2:01 PMYour Lelah is coming out beautiful! The lace part definitely blocks into something better. Mine just looked like wrinkles until I blocked it! Can't wait to see how it comes out.

Posted by: Vicki at April 26, 2005 3:09 PMI've been eye-balling that pattern for a while now, and I suspect that it will be a project I work on while I'm in Jordan for warm, skin- baring TX weather when I return. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
