That looks gorgeous! It's on my list of stuff to try, going to have to give it a go soon. Come and link up to my Learn a New Technique page and share it with other people who want to learn something new.
It's called Broomstick Lace because as you crochet, you pull loops over a knitting needle (or broomstick) to give it the holey-lace-like finish. It's kind of wild!
That's on my list of things to learn. I love the look of it. A couple of years ago I found a broomstick lace afghan somewhere (can't remember where now) and at the time I thought...holy cow...someone put a lot of time into that thing!
This is lovely - no, I've never tried it, but I have the big needle on standby and ready to use as soon as I finish a couple projects...I like the way it looks. I think I'll try a pretty scarf first!
Mindy,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a wonderful job. I made a short sleeved sweater with size 3 cotton thread. It was fun. Love your hot pink yarn.
Hugs,
Tamara

ReplyDeleteLooks like once you got it figured out...it looks good..
