Knitted Lace

 The knitted lace process is knit two, knit two together and yarn over then knit two  This was my first attempt at knitting lacy effect.  It appeared to be easy when I read the pattern and  practiced the stitch.


The pattern level was EASY, okay I can do this.  Well it was going well until I dropped one of the yarn overs!  Goodness, didn't know which way to move the stitch back on the left needle.  So I ripped, removed, unknitted stitches, whatever you call it in proper knitting terms.  Well this happened several times. BUT
(Strange how the color intensifies when you place it on a forest green background  verses a burgundy background.)


I finally finished the project.  It took me a lot longer than I thought.  It's a birthday present, a July birthday present.  No, not next year July, this year July.  So I'm late! I'm late, I'm late, I missed the date!

   I'm pleased  and learned about picking up dropped stitches but for a while I need a quick, easy project, perhaps some dish clothes would be good.
