I truly am pleased with how the Chinese Lace Pullover turned out--and now, it's time to move on. Not that I haven't done so--the projects have been lining up--but at the moment I have five (5!) non-bloggable ones hanging around: an unacceptable situation. If the non-bloggables all get rejected by the various editors considering them, I will suddenly have a wealth of material to blog about, but in the meantime: Trilly, a lustrous pale celadon in silk and cashmere (a close-out from WEBS!). Yes, I can only stand to wear any
wool, cashmere included, for about four hours--about the time it takes to get dressed in my Saturday finest, go out to drinks and dinner, and return home, where I can sigh in relief as I remove the offending garment. And yes, silk/cashmere is not the sort of stuff you make into a workhorse cardigan that you can throw over a turtleneck (thus avoiding any itching problems) and wear to your son's late-season soccer games. Still, this is a gorgeous yarn and I MUST make something of it.
The Chinese Lace Pullover is a perfect spring-into-summer project, as shown in cotton (or try a cotton/wool or cotton/linen blend). Lace borders on cuffs and lower hem flow into wide, figure-flattering ribs on the sleeves and body. Directions given for working flat OR in the round. See more patterns
