Beautiful lace.

I love knitting this new lace cowl, and can not stop making them! I love the double wrap or long drape affect, as shown on Miss Sixteen, really such a versatile knitted thing is this lace cowl. If knit with larger needles, the more airy the lace looks, but needs aggressive blocking to maintain the open fabric, and with smaller needles is more just texture, which also is beautiful. This one is right in between, and on my niece matching her eyes, is just ultra!

Pattern: Altitude Lace Cowls

Introducing Altitude “Lace”, the third of my series of three cowls designed for my Knitting @ Altitude group, with special consideration of  those beginners who are up for a challenge.

“Feather & Fan” I believe is a colloquial name for a traditional lace motif, and I’ve borrowed it to design a very easy lace cowl, with naught but a knit stitch, a yarn-over, and a knit-2-together is all that is needed for making one ~~ you can do it !

I must say something about this yarn too, got it over at the Local Yarn Shop in the sale ‘bin’ the other day, it is deliriously gorgeous (okay, so I guess I am a real ‘yarnie’ now)… Road To China  (made in Peru) which is 65% Baby alpaca, 15% Silk, 10% Camel, 10% Cashmere. I’ve never had the pleasure of such luxury, it is beautiful, and I’m keeping this prototype to wear all the time.

That’s about it. I’m trying to figure out still how to assemble the e-book on Ravelry, but until I do I’ll just have them all sold separately, no harm in that.  You can find Altitude “Lace” on this site HERE , and on Ravelry HERE . . . .
