This was my first serious lace piece. When it began I was in way over my head. It is knitted in Kid Silk Haze which is a true lace weight yarn, and also has the lovely fuzziness to it, which if you are undoing a lot of wrong stitches can be a nightmare. I set is aside for a year or more, became a better knitter in the mean time and finally finished it and was able to gift it to a lovely friend. This was a real confidence builder for me when I was finally able to bind it off, block it and photograph it. I have since undertaken other lace projects and have come to love lace knitting. I would rather work on a sz 4 needle than an 8, but that is also why I have the golfers elbow! Drat.
