macro lace

Friday, June 5th, 2009 | design, knitting, photography

Wow! Thanks for the fantastic response to the Monday Morning Cardigan! I can’t wait till I start seeing some finished sweaters – I really love the side shaping too.

I wanted to share a shiny new project on my needles before I run out the door today (bike shopping!) – a big lace pattern in Malabrigo worsted.

I was calling this “macro lace” in my head because it’s a big motif – 3.5 inches between the side tips at the top. But then I realized it actually looks like the “macro” setting on cameras!

This goes fantastically fast and is super soft and squishy. I just love it. It’s going to end up as a sorta shrug-cardigan thing. Cropped, with adjust-to-your-size sleeves. Well, if it works out as planned, anyway.

the color is lovely — so vibrant! and the texture of the lace pattern is really interesting; are those tulips??? looking forward to seeing more progress on this.
