Notre Dame de Grace Very happily cast on for a new project, pairing some handspun singles that has been waiting in stash patiently for years, with a pattern I've had my eye on since 2007 when I spied it in the summer issue of Interweave Knits. Primarily moss stitch, with corrugated rib details at the shoulder and a short, stand up shawl collar.
Size 4 US. I'm knitting it in the round - just can't bear all that seaming!
Created the swatch to determine a stitch pattern that wouldn't skew using this singles unbalanced yarn. When I settled on the moss stitch, I remembered Nortre Dame!

Lace Cowl (August) Resurrected from banishment when I found some pink silk singles in stash that looked compatible enough. I think it worked. The piece is longer now and will function fine when those cold winter winds start to blow. I love happy endings.

Update (March) Well, loved the way it turned out until I had it on my neck for awhile and found it was so drapey that it really was too short to wear for warmth. Frogged it a second time, then couldn't find any more soysilk I had spun (swear I had a little more…... This project is now banished to the waiting basket.

A lace cowl using handspun soysilk 16 wpi. Dyed with Lanaset dyes in a colorway I think of as *Boudoir* Size 5 US needle.
Pattern by a talented Finnish designer named Paivi. (look for her on ravelry as Lankakomero. I love the way it turned out, though I had at first made it too wide and had to rip and start over. Love this lace pattern, and the wraps were fun to do.
