Read more in notebook: Stripes and Torchon Lace
I started this project a week or two ago and I'm enjoying it but not too surprisingly it's a slow moving project. I'm using smaller needles than the pattern calls for (mostly because I just got a new pair of Turbo Addi needles that I really wanted to try out) and I'm doing a few extra pattern repeats to make up for the smaller gauge. Also I have more yarn than the pattern calls for which contributed to my bright idea to have a smaller gauge. (Oh, I forgot to mention this is the Stripes and Torchon lace wrap from Victorian Lace Today and the yarn is Cherry Tree Hill Merino Lace (2400 yards, yikes!).) (I seem have a surplus of punctuation at the moment but I blame it on the prime minister debate that Kim is watching which is making me want to squeeze the candidates and their oddly shaped ears between a couple of parenthesis to shut them up - even more so the crazy moderator who keeps randomly repeating the question for those of us with attentions spans shorter than two or three minutes.)
