Lacevember

I have a plan for Lacevember. I will complete one lace repeat on both my Hippy Crunchy sock and Hush Hush each day. That's 20 rows on the sock and 4 on Hush Hush (but boy are those long rows!)



Hush Hush probably has less repeats before I get to the stockinette at which point it becomes TV knitting and will actually maybe get done someday.

And then I shall work on my Elizabeth 1 scarf.


Lacevember questions:

The knitting questions, or the usual suspects

How long have you been knitting?
I learned to knit long ago but didn't knit much. I picked it up again just over two years ago.

How did you learn to knit?
My mom taught me the basics when I was 6, the rest of the stuff I taught myself.

Favorite thing about knitting?
Socks! Just kidding. Knitting has become a social thing for me, so I guess the best part is spending time with my friends.

How long have you been knitting lace?
I actually don't knit a lot of lace. I've knit a few pairs of lace socks. My first "serious" lace was started for the Amazing Lace and Lacevember will help me finish it.

Favorite thing about knitting lace.
The finished product!

The yarn questions, or flash your stash

Favorite lace yarn?
So far most of my lace has been on socks. I have some Knitpicks Shadow so I guess that would have to be it since it's the only laceweight I've worked with.

Dunno, I've never knit a shawl. I kind of want to knit one of the crazy complicated ones, but I would never wear it.

black
