September 2009
This was a real breakthrough project for me - I spent the whole time I was working on it wondering when the heck I had suddenly developed this ability to work lace.
I love the lacy bits, but I did think this pattern was slightly unimaginative, in that because the lace is around the hip and waistline, the issue of shaping is side-stepped altogether, and there just isn't any. At all. Seems a pity to me, although worn with slightly less positive ease than I wear it, it's not an unflattering sweater.
I made this using circular Addi Lace Turbos, which are the absolute rolls-royce of needles. I wanted to give myself the best possible opportunity of getting the lace right, and it worked - no ripping back, tinking or frogging required.
