Lace Frenzy: Cotton Lace Scarf

I've learned that I love lace knitting. It is so much more interesting than stockinette or ribbing, though it requires an awful lot of focus and attention. It's difficult to multitask when knitting lace, but it's so gratifying to see the pattern emerge from beneath your fingertips!

I've been busy this past year, and rather neglectful of my blog! So it's time to play catch up.

The Cotton Lace Scarf
Made for my mom


This was my first endeavor into lace. At the time, I was in love with stitch books and I looked for every opportunity there was to practice playing with all the fun stitch patterns. This basic lace pattern caught my eye. It was a simple repeat that allowed me to switch yarn colors at the garter stitch rows to define the pattern a bit more.



Called Crest of the Wave, I found this stitch pattern in The Knitter's Bible.



I don't recall what yarn I used for this. It was a random find at a yarn shop. But I do remember it is a cotton/viscose blend. I gave this to my mother last summer for her birthday.
