Chartwell - a new thing for me!

-
I haven't done a lot of lace knitting.....but I have totally fallen for Kidsilk Haze lately....and Rowan always seems to have something nice in Kidsilk Haze in their books.....Rowan 46 is no exception.

So, I bought myself 4 balls of Kidsilk Haze in a shade called Jacob....it's actually a greeny gold browny shade........and it's lovely......and I've cast on......and I've given myself a deadline!!!

Am I crazy or what?

    Anne- It's hard to resist. Rowan does have the most amazing things.

    Looks like you're a lace pro to me.

    Crazy depends on the deadline you've established. Did I tell you mine? Cashmere St. Brigid between kickoff for the football season (mid-Sept) and the final play of the superbowl (early February).

    It's a wonderful start. I have some of the yarn in a burgundy kind of plum color and am making the melon shawl from Victorian Lace Today. Can't wait to get back to it. It's like knitting air or thisledown or something ethereal like that.
