The Amazing lace

Well, I'm so behind in setting up this blog for the Amazing lace. I need to be able to post some pictures of the team. Luckily I seem to have a village behind me waiting to help out on us doing a more relay team approuch. i have gone through all my stash, and:

• pulled the Folk shawls still on needles (I know! Shame on me! i'm only the yagoogroup owner!) How many years of pergatory is that in Knitter's hell?

• any remainding yarn I could find to go with them.
• Placed the folk Shawls books in the bag.
• There is currently the Lacey prairie shawl....so close to being finished! but one miscount and it went to the frog pond, it's been there so long the frog's made a nest out of it!. My dilemma.....my skills as a knitter have increased since i had originally started this shawl. so I see the faults it contains. I used reynold's Signature yarn. worsted weight. To my now abit more experienced eyes, i see that i could of gone higher in the needle size. Also the color of the yarn is a variegated of various shades of purple. This takes/distracts from the lace pattern. What element is more important? The colors of the yarn? or the stitch pattern that is a bit on the tight side.

What's your opinion I would love to know! Do I rip a shawl that is over 50% done and reuse the yarn? Keep going to just say i did it. Strike it up as a learning experience.

• Next shawl in the magic bag: the kimono shawl. I think. will have to take a closer look later to just make sure. This one had me cast on a zillion stitches. I was on the border in the beginning when I stopped for some reason. I must of made a mistake in the sequence of increase/decrease and ended the row with a miscount. Thus the crowded frog pond it went. Now for this one, you will be able to see a bit of my renegade spirit. Something to possess me to combine cobwed weight yarns together. 3 yarns each on the same section of the color wheel, yet still completely different. Together they created the most stunning color.

When I officially introduce each of the teammembers i will show the yarns.
