Welcome to the second edition of 4S.
I recently finished this Fernfrost scarf for my mom:
I've made several of Anne Hanson's sock patterns, and really liked them, so I was eager to try one of her lace patterns. Mom picked the pattern and the yarn color. (Apparently, this is the "wrong" side of the pattern, but I actually prefer it to the "right" side, which shows all the purl stitches. If you click on the Fernfrost link above, you can see what the "right" side looks like.)
That there is eleven-and-a-quarter repeats of a 32-row pattern. Here's a close-up of a 32-row section:
I used Knit Picks Palette yarn in the Cream colorway and their size 5 Harmony wood needles. There is pattern work on every row, so no purl resting row. This is probably the most complicated lace knitting I've done so far. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite the complexity, it gave me a lot of focus and relaxation. I will definitely try more of Anne's lace patterns.
