DISQUS

WOW! Simply amazing! And I didn't even finish my vest!
Yum Yum...alpaca & silk. Thanks a bunch!

Lovely, lovely, lovely!
I *had* to order the book after seeing several versions of this ...I'm hoping all the other patterns are just as exquisite...

The book is only (as far as I know) available from Schoolhouse Press...it's in Icelandic? with an accompanying translation, hence the somewhat prohibitive price...

Just stunning...wow, I'm absolutely in awe (read: jealous!). Someday I'll get there...

Very nice! I love the ripply (sp?) effect!

Diane

Very very pretty & ethereal...not him, the shawl! Did you use a cobweb weight?
Diane

Your "wings" are very pretty! Are they for a costume? How will it be used/worn? Are the lavender pieces at the corners for putting ones arms through?

Please tell all!

Diane

P.S. Any idea how much yarn (yardage) it requires?

Nice pattern, nicely executed! That looks like a good gifty type item for the holidays! I've got it bookmarked.

"The brain keeps working on a project, even when the hands are taking a break."
This is SO true! I find that happens with me too...but sometimes it leads me in quite different (distracting) directions & I find it hard to get back to what I was originally working on!
Take, for instance, the 2 skinny scarves & the cape I just whipped out because I was looking through BW for ideas to put in my mananita...
Diane

Tee-hee!
Happens to me **all** the time!

I LOVE the kitty bliss photo... *smile*
Diane

P.S. Why did you frog "Anya"???

Just looked at the Patterns section at Ravelry...where is this from? I'd venture to guess that at least the center is a Niebling or Niebling-inspired, no?
Diane

D R O O L!!! My god, that's gorgeous!
Diane

Love that Spring Forward pattern! Very attractive in that yarn too. I find some variegated yarns just don't work with lace patterns, (I mean why do all that work if the yarn upstages the lace pattern, right?) but that one looks very nice.
The scarf/stole pattern is quite nice too.
Diane

Gosh, you're brave...and in a dark yarn, too! You go, girl! It's already quite stunning. I've gotten myself a few of his patterns as I, too, aspire to knit one or two of his lovely works, but I haven't yet had the courage to cast on as I have no idea how I'm going to deal with the German it's written it... best of luck to you, it's looking like you're going along swimmingly!
Diane

What a lovely thought. I *do* hope your friends and relatives appreciate how much work & time you spend doing these things!
Diane

Since that YO seems to be part of an "edging", I'd rather see it *with* the edging. But, I found myself staring at the symbols trying to decifer what was what...and no row numbers? hmmm....

Yes, but the wonderful part is you can try them on as you go & make them as long as you like! And if you do two at a time, you can use up ALL your yarn! Plus, no toe bunching with bind off.
Enjoy...
Diane

Just STUNNING! I LOOOOOOVE IT! Are ALL the designs in that book as gorgeous? That may have to go into my Amazon wish list.
Diane

Oh garsh...FORTY-SIX ROWS???? I feel for ya...have at least THREE glasses of wine.
Diane

Ohhhhhhhhhh, my my my! LOVELY!

You could try carefully moving some of the excess yarn across its row before you block, so that it's distributed over more of the stitches.
Diane

GORGEOUS!!! Good call.
Diane

Hang in there! If you choose something different, try something that has a simple, short repeat so you don't have to read charts. It's still "real" lace knitting and can look stunningly simple!
