I have finally finished a Broomstick Lace project!
This was with Caron Simply Soft in Grey Heather. The yarn has that touch of shine that is so pretty!
My tools:
Less than one skein of yarn
Knitting needle the size of a baseball bat (That may be a slight exaggeration, but it is certainly around thumb-size-ish... very specific here. Oh wait! --double check... It seems to be around the same or slightly larger than Size 19 needles.)
Size H Susan Bates hook for all the sc parts
Size H Boye hook (I found this to be easier when hooking the yarn over the needle because it catches the yarn less than the Susan Bates hooks, which is, interestingly enough, one of my favorite qualities of Susan Bates hooks.)
For the fringe, I chained 15 then slip stitched into the next stitch. I like the look of it on this one. It seems to work well with the lace part.
Tamara said that she has done a vest or sweater with a Broomstick Lace pattern. That sounds just a bit too intimidating to me as of yet! Have any of you tried it? What did you think? Likes? Dislikes? I'm curious.

Broomstick Lace
My first attempt at Broomstick Lace:
There are some obvious hiccups, but I started getting the hang of it around row 3 or 4.
Have any of you tried it? Anything you like or don't like about it? Any tips or hints I should know?
Enjoy your weekend!
