Beaded Lace Edition
Short post today. I actually spent quite a bit of time yesterday sewing, but I wanted to share something else instead. I think this is my favorite project I’ve ever made. It’s a great neutral color. I can dress it up or down. It was even enjoyable to knit. My notes say I started it Jan 1, 2012, and finished it April 19 of the same year, though they also say that I was on leaf 6 out of the 9 I did as of Jan 8…so I feel like maybe I forgot to record my finish date and then just picked one later on. I do remember that it went pretty quickly.
The only problem is that I live in GA and it’s rarely cold enough to need it. I generally end up pulling it out when I wear something formal and have a sleeveless dress.
The pattern is called Frozen Leaves and I used KnitPicks Gloss Lace yarn, which is a merino/silk blend. The beads were some iridescent grey beads and weren’t part of the original pattern but I based placement on notes a friend of mine had made.
Absolutely beautiful. A lot of painstaking, careful work but obviously worth the effort.
