More Stripes

more stripes

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.
