Caution: Slow Knitter Ahead

Thanks to Wendy Spaazlicious. Yup, that's me.

I have actually cast on for the Summer of Lace, even though the summer is technically half over. I am so not into charted patterns, but doing this will force me kicking and screaming into doing it. I gotta. Charted lace is probably the best way to figure out an intricate pattern, because reading typed out lines of yo ssk k2tog somehow don't cut it. I have my eye on Kiri, the Flower Basket Shawl, and a pair of lace socks. The good thing about Kiri is that Polly gave both written (yay!) and charted instructions. Cara came to my rescue on FBS, directing me toward this page that answers every question I had. Thanks, Cara! Finally, I found *the* pattern I was whining about last time in Barbara Walker's The Craft of Lace Knitting, and I've got about 6 inches of lovely sock to show you next time.
