i’ve decided i’m making an unambitious soft lace cowl for project #1, worked flat, because i want low-commitment, lots of attention to my lace pattern of choice, and absolutely no shaping beyond what i find personally moving at the exact moment it becomes a question
this of course means it’s time for the difficult part where i stare at this knitting dictionary from 1973 and try to figure out which lace pattern i want. (the top image has actual contenders, the bottom is just for the glory of hyacinth stitch, which i will probably never use but love dearly)
