Ready, Set... Pause
Hi All, I'm a laceaholic located near NewYork City in New Jersey, US (my blog is Jersey Knitter). Many thanks to Jacqueline and Stephanie for organizing this KAL! I'm eager to start and was set to order the book... but Santa hinted I shouldn't. In my experience, Santa is very good about obtaining highly desired books, not so good about also providing yarn. So I imagine I'll be starting my first VLT project early in the new year.
In the meantime, I'mfreaking out over holiday knitting enjoying looking at everyone else's beauteous VLT projects and looking forward to participating soon. Happy Holidays and see you next year!

Joining up
Hello all! I've been fondling my copy of VLT for a few weeks now, and I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to make with the 2,000+ yards of rich red Merino Oro I had in my stash. I'm leaning toward the "curved shawl with diamond edging," which I've seen several of you mention already. I'm in love with the stitch pattern for the body of the shawl - so unusual and pretty! I haven't tried swatching it yet, though, so no promises.
Looking forward to seeing more completed projects! That hexagon shawl below is stunning.

Welcome
Hello Lace Knitters!
I hope you're as excited as we are about the new Victorian Lace Today. The patterns are fabulous and the book itself is a work of art. I don't know about you, but there's just something wonderfully classic about lace, yet it is still contemporary enough to have a place in today. As the weather turns cold in the northern hemisphere I love a lace wrap for the office or that special evening out. And a lace scarf is always gorgeous under that winter coat. For those of you living in the south (like Ms Jacqueline), this is the perfect time of year for throwing your favorite lace over your shoulders before heading out to dinner and a movie.
We are imagining this knit along as an ongoing thing where knitters can post for advice or thoughts on patterns and yarn or just share their stunning projects. As with any KAL, it is what all the participants make it. We want this KAL to be something everyone can enjoy so therefore there is no time limit. Start knitting today, next month or next year and finish your project when it suits you. Lace should be savoured and enjoyed.
We're so glad you've decided to join us. Have a great time and good luck choosing your first project (personally, that's going to be the hardest part).
