You must have faith when you’re knitting lace.� Because it looks like this now.
A knotty mess I know that I must have faith it will turn out beautifully when it is blocked.� I’m into the second pattern and I only have 23 more to go.� I figure if I can do a pattern a day I will get it complete by the wedding.
Note the new profile picture on the left?� Those are made from Knit Picks Simple Stripes.

You can’t beat the price on this yarn.� It is $2.99 per skein.� You can make 2 pairs adults socks from 3 skeins.� Of course it is superwash and wears beautifully.� They are my new favorite socks…at least until I complete another pair.� In order to avoid terrible yarn accidents with the socks I make on the Legare, I HAVE to test drive any new yarn I use by wearing a pair for a day, washing and drying to see how much they felt/shrink….at least that is my story and I’m sticking to it!

Your lace pattern will end up being beautiful. I made a Rainbow Doily out of 3 strands of sewing thread by varying the rainbow colors. Before it was blocked it looked like a limp dishrag – afterwords it was beautiful. I have it posted on my blog somewhere. As to the Simple Stripes yarn – I just ordered a couple of skeins of the Vineyard color and I will probably end up getting the Sweetarts. I LOVE KnitPicks yarns!! Their worsted wool is much cheaper and works perfectly for felted items!
