Captain’s Log, Stardate 06.19.2007
I came across this neato webpage the other night:
Knitting Patterns for Lace Edgings Etc
So, curious about making lace, I knitted a few swatches from the Normandy Lace Edging pattern.
Isn’t this totally neat???? My swatch, unfortunately, does not look as nice as the pattern picture, possibly because I don’t block very well, possibly because I’m still a beginning knitter.
Maybe I’m reading too many historical romances lately, but it makes me want to go back to the fashions of gowns and shirts dripping in lace. I suppose I could knit some lace and edge the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt with it. That would be a cool way to refresh an old shirt.

Sorry for not being around for so long. Been busy preparing for my birthday celebration (tom) and my wedding in August. I see you've got a lot of things going.. Congrats on the new cover! It looks lovely!
