Ends sewn in - the illness continues..

Now it is a full blown case of Lace virus

Thank you Grandma Flea for the yarn - I finally got around to knitting up the beautiful yarn in the swallowtail shawl that you sent me a few months back. This just floats and is so delicate - almost too beautiful to wear. I am going to say I actually loved the nupps.

Then I cast on the shetland triangle and I am sorry to say I am one repeat before the border this is serious (in two days ok Lyn you were right)- are there any lace doctors out there. I have been researching the condition on the web, I know that self diagnosis isn't that reliable, but I believe a larger more complex pattern may cure me of this affliction. Any suggestions for patterns?

Evelyn A. Clark is a genius lace knitter I have a new deeper appreciation for pattern writing after this illness

of nupps and life lines

I have mastered the nupp and it is good. The first row I knitted the 5 stitches way too tight and had to use a 2mm needle to get into them. For the following rows I knitted quite loosely and it worked really well. I am determined to cast this off to night - but I had to rip back the 2nd last chart today and I made some silly mistake - I am blaming my adventures of yesterday where I had a minor procedure with a general which really knocked me about. Thank goodness for life lines I say.

Aggie bear came to knitting today and everyone remarked how big she is - I still don't think this shows the scale properly.
