Lace Knitting
I'm learning how to work in lace right now and it's not going so great. The lacing itself isn't so bad, but I think that the pattern shouldn't have been categorized under lace in the 101 Designer One Skein Wonders because it looks terrible so far. I've worked eight out of the seventeen repeats and it's yet to look like more than a lacy blob. I'm hoping that blocking will fix this problem so we'll see. The other projects recorded in Ravelry used DK weight or fingering weight yarn and looked really good. If anyone knows anything about lace work, please contact me and let me know what you know about if I'm making this scarf right or not. Here's a link to my project: Scarf

Hi! I found you through Ravelry. I live in Peoria. Most lace looks like a pile of scrunched up tissue until blocked. You can try to pin it out while still working on it to see how it looks. (Don't forget to put the stitches on a thread first. I've dropped stitches even when I thought I was being very careful.)
