is it spring yet?

ok i think i have come out of my mohair and silk
'ice queen' induced knitting fog...

maybe not
but i am reasonably sure i am awake at the moment

i have yarn for two more...i am going to knit two more
but first
i am sort of working on a fichu from the 'victorian lace today'
the harebell

it's gone from being a work in progress to a giant swatch

cause i messed up the initial location of the short row back shaping
but that's ok

i am going to play with this for a bit
i like a lot of it
but i think i would like it smaller around the neck.....and the lace a bit more open
so i am considering ...... size 1 needles for the neck band and go up to a 2 for the lace itself

like i said....playing


meanwhile i hand copied out the charts for it
but i have to replace my scanner before i do any big lace projects
there is no way i am going to be able to make a working copy by hand of some of the bigger lace that i am planning on doing


meanwhile

if anyone has suggestions for 100% silk lace weight with higher yardage and good prices
please let me know
especially if they are online and take paypal.......

even if i have to dye it myself

ok folks off i go

til next time
