The Amazing Lace Knitalong

May 8th, 2006 at 6:34 pm (Knitting, Spectator Grand)

My first bandwagon! I’m so excited! I imagine this is how a teenager feels the first time they light a candle for a wiccan god and then put on a fresh pair of spider pants to wear to a Tool concert.

I’m joining the Amazing Lace Knitalong. Not only does it force me to post my progress (and therefore make progress), but it will involve interpreting various challenges in a hilarious and creative manner. For example, if they say that I must photograph my lace high atop a bauer, I will merely photoshop a picture of my lace into a 24 screenshot. Oh mirth! Oh verily.

I’m very close to starting the Spectator Grand hat by Annie Modesitt. My yarn is fully dried, and I just have to wind it up into balls and knit a gauge swatch. I might decide to practise first with some scrap yarn so I can get used to yarn-overs and such. I want this hat to be perfect.
