More Stripes
Wednesday, August 18, 2010

Before moving on to other patterns, I had a few more STRIPES I wanted to show you.
The three laces on the left emphasize the contrasting polka dots on the side (known as the weft thread). Two of the three have a weft matching a color within the main weave. The one in the middle is a rebel. Don't you love diversity? :)
Second from right is a weave I absolutely adore because of the texture created from recycled cotton. (I still have plenty left, but when it's out of stock it's out of stock.) Combined with a variegated maroon/white/black sock yarn, I can't help but fantasize about lovingly wrapped packages, a crackling fireplace... plum pudding. Hey! Wait a minute! I've never even had plum pudding...
Anyway, these laces would make a lovely ribbon and gift at the same time.
The lace on the far right has bi-colored stripes. I've had a ton of fun playing with colors on this pattern.

As always, tell stories birth beauties!
