Stating My Intentions Publicly

 

I'm finally....

 

FINALLY

 

designing my own lace.

 

And if I tell you all now, I can't worm out of it later.

 

Those of you who know me and who know lace shawls will easily recognize this as being an Elizabeth Zimmerman pi shawl.  I chose it as the basic structure for my first design attempt for very simple reasons.  First, I adore knitting circles, and the mathematics of this particular shawl structure appeal strongly to me.  Second, it's a relatively easy design to plug lace patterns into - making it a nonthreatening sort of basis to build my first shawl on.

 

The yarn...now that's the truly special part....the yarn is hand spun....YUM!

 

That's all I will share for now.  Hopefully I'll have a gorgeous shawl to show off soon!

 

PS.  Clearly the Green Woman and I have made up.  She's sitting in my orange chair right now, leafing through my gazillion stitch pattern books for some inspiration.
