Lace?

I am becoming a lace knitter.

I like being challenged. I like the complicated look of lace and love the ease of it. Who knew that mixing in a few yo's, p's, ssk's, k2togs with the k's would get such gorgeous results?

I have a crush on Anne Hanson's designs. Every single one of them. I want Bee Fields. Wow.

And Ishbel? Just gifted to me (thanks, Jen!). I've been lusting after this pattern for a long time now.

I just ordered some J Knits Lace-a-licious for something...not sure what, but it comes in 1200 yd skeins, so I should be able to make any Anne Hanson design. Ishbel will be from Mal Sock! I can't wait to cast on!
