Notes

This was my first “real” lace project so I rated it as a medium. Actually, once I got going with it; I would call it easy. The Jitterbug yarn is 100% merino but has a elasticity to it that can be scary. This piece was only 9” x 39” before blocking. A simple wet block relaxed the twist in the yarn and it was just stunning!

I recommend this book to anyone looking to try lace as the patterns are well written and pleasant. I also recommend the Jitterbug. It is affordable and comes in a whopping 110 solids, tonals and varigateds. LOVELY yarn.
