Day 21

The morning has flown past. I decided to change lace patterns on my triangle shawl (following Evelyn Clark's excellent scheme). I started with the Rose lace from her book, but didn't quite fancy any of the other three patterns. I found a 10-stitch repeat pattern called Arch lace in my old Mon Tricot stitch dictionary and then had to work out a way of going from Rose to Arch. Clark gives 'transition' charts to help you blend one pattern into another and fortunately, after a lot of scribbling, I managed to make one of these work. In the picture you can see where some solid diamonds are starting.

I should really have been cleaning the house. Oh well, there's always another time!

Oh, how lovely this is looking. Aren't you clever to find another stitch pattern you like. I can't wait to see how this turns out. I've only followed Evelyn strictly; never veering.
