The homework for our August City and Guilds class was lace.<\/p>\n

The first sample is an example of faggoting, that is, a lace mesh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This pattern is called Basic Faggoting Stitch and is from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns<\/a>\"\" by Barbara Walker.<\/p>\n

The second sample is an example of a pattern made with eyelets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a snowflake from Gossamer Webs: The History and Techniques of Orenburg Lace Shawls<\/a>\"\" by Galina Khmeleva and Carol R. Noble. There were a couple of little errors in this chart so if you are interested in knitting any of these patterns I would recommend downloading the errata<\/a> first (although neither of the errors I spotted were actually included in the errata, I have contacted them so hopefully they should appear in the next version of the corrections). In 2000 Mummy and I went on a fascinating weekend workshop in Bradford organised by the Knitting and Crochet Guild<\/a> on Orenburg shawls. It was really interesting and a wonderful weekend, I am looking forward to getting round to doing my own Orenburg shawl at some point.<\/p>\n

Next up is an example of Shetland lace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Feather and Fan Stitch, I got the instructions from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns<\/a>\"\" by Barbara Walker, but being a traditional pattern it is in a lot of books. This just goes to show that you can work lace in acrylic \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Lastly, my fourth sample shows an example of a more complex lace pattern which distorts the fabric (if the decrease is not right next to the corresponding yarn over then the fabric will be distorted).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Fern or Leaf-Pattered Lace, again from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns<\/a>\"\" by Barbara Walker. I do love this pattern, it tiles so beautifully. I must do a whole garment using this, it is such a lovely pattern, and very pleasant to knit.<\/p>\n

I now only have one more set of samples to do, on combined stitch structures, and then I need to organise them all and hand them in. I am hoping to be able to hand in at the September class so I’d better get a move on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
