As you might know, I am participating in
Knit and Crochet Blog Week. Today is the day to reveal what pattern you aspire to create. The moment I read this I thought of all of the beautiful lace shawls I'd love to knit particularly the
Valentine Triangle Shawl by

Knitting lace has never appealed to me, because honestly it scares me! There I said it out loud. Even though I have tackled complex sweaters with cables and color changes, lace looks too hard.
I have tried to tackle my fear of lace. First, I joined a lace knit a long and produced a
Ribbed Lace Bolero. Then, I graduated to a simple fan and feather shawl with my
Multnomah. However, there were no charts, no fancy lace stitches, and no extraordinary concentration was required.
Having escaped lace, I am now knitting a
cable cardigan. This for me is the comfort food of knitting.
Some day I will knit a lace shawl with actual charts...some day.
Happy comfort food knitting!
