Redemption. Oh Boy. I received my copy of Lace Style today. What can I say, it's the typical Interweave Knits Style Book. Patterns to die for, superb photography, thorough instructions and charts. The Design Notebook section is inspiring and empowering; photos, charts and techniques - Oh My!! Another Excellent Syle book - a must have for your collection. 
There is a Lace Style Knit Along as well. I have selected three projects:
Page 91 Peek-A-Boo Cloche designed by Mona Schmidt- in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport Tuscany
Page 21 Lily of The Valley Shawl designed by Nancy Bush - in Knit Picks Shadow Sunset
Page 27 Floral Lace Anklets designed by Evelyn A Clark - in Regia Silk Mocha

Ahem, more Knit Picks needles arrived with my copy of Lace Style so I can knit another 3 pairs at a time. Welllll, I thought the marathon was ending March 31st aaannnnndddd I could not get the socks off the needles fast enough to knit all of the patterns I want to try. So there!! I am reading the Cable Needle Freedom book because I find using a cable needle particulaly tedious when knitting twisted stitches and cables on socks.

Oh, man! That Lace Style is amazing! And I just learned cabling without a cable needle and it was easy with a very rustic wool, but not with smooth sock yarn. Wendy has a great video for traditional cabling without a cable needle on YouTube, and on my Pembrokshire Pathways socks, I needed to do it with all the stitches still on the needles. If you want to know more, email me or blog about it :) -Carrie B
