Okay. So I am enamoured with all things lace.
After knitting my cherry tomato scarf and LOVING how delicate & intricate it turned out, I wondered if I could do this for a garment.
Now if you know me -- trying to crochet or make any type of garment never happens for me.
Never.
Whether it is sewing a garment, crocheting a garment or making anything that I might wear ----> it.does.not.happen!
Oh, believe me! I always start out with good intentions, but sheesh! after a few rows or a few stitches it ends ups in that dark corner of my closet, all balled up, never to be seen again.
But lace....the lace! It just intrigues me. Calls me. Speaks to me.
(Yup. This is where my husband/kids reeeeeeeeally begins to question my sanity...or lack thereof.)
Regardless, I'm on a mission & pattern hunting begins.
So far?
Knitting the lace is working.
Nicely.
And the added bonus?! -- which I can not believe -- is that it actually resembles something that I can might be able to wear...

I think we each come to this stage at the right time...I remember the first attempt at "lace"...it was a small bag and I did it with crochet cotton...and it worked and I was flabbergasted at how easy it actually was...
it's just a matter of doing what they say and...bazinger...it's lace. and white lace is the best lace...just sayin'!!! even if you don't finish (but you will now because you told us about it)you tried and gained the knowledge...so can't wait to see it done...and it will be.
:)
Absolutely beautiful so far!! :)
Very nice!!!
We don't see white often and I think yours it beautiful. Great idea!
You are amazing - this is beautiful. I cannot wait to see it finished!
A vest is a great place to start with knitted garments. Your project is looking gorgeous, so keep the good work!!!
My best wishes,

Which beautiful lace dream...
I am so happy you are pressing through to finish! And in knitting, no less.
I adore lace, whether crocheted, bobbin lace or knitted.
And you are doing a lovely job! It looks soft and scrummy.
