One lace cuff. The lovely crocheted lace cuff that is the start of Lotus' sleeves. Watching this cuff come together made me happy. It took a long time, I couldn't work on it and read or watch TV, but watching the lace grow out of it just made me feel good. It's so easy and so lovely. Even the splitty yarn issues couldn't dull my enjoyment of watching it go from being a chain of 161 stitches to a full fledged piece of lace.
Pretty, no? And actually not that hard to memorize, in spite of how it might look. But definitely time consuming -- or at least more time consuming that you might think, given that it's only 10 rows!
Now I'm all ready to get the knitting started for the first sleeve. I'm beginning to feel like I might have a new sweater by June after all!

So cool! I love the look of crochet lace even though I don't do it hardly at all.
Wow, that's pretty! Great job!
I found your page when searching for nine-patch quilt block alternatives. I enjoyed the entries and pictures on that thread. I've been reading the others even though I can't knit. When I try, my left hand seems of little more use than a stump. However, I have kept reading because you write so well and I enjoy hearing your voice in this writing. I also admire the energy you must have to create all this, photograph it and keep up the website while you have a child, a husband, and a job.
I crochet. This entry I understood fully.
The lace is beautiful. Great job with the crochet. I keep trying to teach myself and hilarity typically ensues.
