When I grow up as a knitter, I have a goal in mind. I want to do a masterpiece Shetland Lace Shawl. Those are traditionally very large garter stitch lace squares. A main lace body is knit and then a lace border is added on all four sides.
I found the pattern for the cowl you see below from Luba Chambers on Ravelry. Luba also has and Etsy shop which sells yarn and other knitting supplies. I am thinking that this could be a good starting project for knitting Shetland lace. One of the things that appeal to me about Shetland lace is that it is done in garter stitch. With the lovely squish factor of garter stitch and the delicate look of lace you get the best of both worlds in one project.
This cowl is waiting for me my favorites on Ravelry. I have a mountain of WIPs and saved patterns to be done some day. This will be put on the top of the mountain so I can try it sooner rather than later. I do need to look for the perfect yarn for this also because in my stash right now I don't have anything worthy of the effort.
If you are a creative type with busy hands and a busy mind, do you have something you want to do that will be a masterpiece lifetime major accomplishment? Put it out there to the universe in the comments. I would love to hear from you.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
