But I am just getting to grips with lace patterns in laceweight yarn. And mostly it's the blocking effect that's a mystery -- how much will something grow in blocking? How will the pattern be affected? <BR/><BR/>I know I could learn a lot by experiementing with squares of different yarns and needle sizes and then blocking them -- but I've never been good at swatches. I just like knitting stuff. Swatches don't qualify as stuff for me!Soohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08072821039582965057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774857645428726855.post-7661853158924769942007-05-21T00:25:00.000+01:002007-05-21T00:25:00.000+01:00Daft me forgot to also say that your Hanami looks ...Daft me forgot to also say that your Hanami looks beautiful so far! Is this your first go at lace, or first go with lacweight yarn, or neither?? It takes a bit to get used to having such fine yarn in your fingers, or so I think anyway! :D<BR/>Vik xViknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594288679698784341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774857645428726855.post-60236366047164991892007-05-21T00:22:00.000+01:002007-05-21T00:22:00.000+01:00Soo your blog is just as bad for me - I'm dying to...Soo your blog is just as bad for me - I'm dying to have a go at the Hanami stole!
