thank you lis and jodi, for providing such a gorgeous yarn—the fiber and color are astounding.
debbieKnitter makes a guest appearance as our test knitter here (ok, she called me late at night screaming that she “MUST knit this”, and hey, far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth). thank you debbie, i always look forward to working together!
rachel deserves many thanks for proofreading this week—both behind the scenes and up front here!

Gorgeous!
Simply stunning!
Wow – that is absolutely beautiful! I love the idea of wrapping oneself in a protective talisman
Ooh – that is a gorgeous lace pattern. Marvelous work!
Ooh! another beauty! There are not enough hours in the day, days in the week, etc. I wish I could afford to retire so that I could sit and knit and tat all the time!
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again. Fanfreakintastic!
Mmmm….. deliciously gorgeous. As usual. You know. 🙂
Anne- Oh you clever girl.
BTW- did you know that Kim has her laceweight in a color called “Twilight”? Just sayin.
Such a lovely pattern, and the yarn couldn’t be prettier!
stunning.
perfect combo of yarn, color, design and name.
I am SO knitting that! I simply cannot resist sinuous curves in knitting. Or quilting, for that matter. And you mean if I just bombard you with emails saying “I Must Knit That!” I’ll get to be a test knitter, too?
Sigh. It’s getting to the point where even I am starting to not believe my delusions of how much knitting I am going to be able to get done in my lifetime. I’m still off to buy that pattern now. And probably also order some yarn for it. Hope springs eternal.
That one turned out so well! I may have to get the pattern and some yarn for a friend who is thinking of dipping her toes into the lace-knitting world. Facilitator? Moi?
I want to knit this in Sea Silk. Would that be so wrong? It wouldn’t be whisper-delicate like yours, but I think it would be lovely anyway…
Gorgeous! I think you’ve outdone yourself with this one!
It could not be any prettier than it is! Brava!
Anne, this is a beauty!!! The name and color and pattern all go together.
Beautiful! It really brings out the colors of the pretty yarn.
How many arms and hands do you have, really?? You’re just amazing. I love this one too!
Ooh, isn’t that lovely. Lace always looks spectacular with blocking, but somehow this one really shone for me in particular (post-blocking).
You tempt me so! You know, I’m developing a stash of just your patterns and the yarn to knit them. I love both the pattern and the yarn on this one.
Another stunning piece ! Great design.
Very very pretty. It is a beautiful colour, my daughter agrees the colour is great. Glorious knitting and flowers in the previous post too! Hope you are well.
Anne, I have been thoroughly enjoying your blog!!!. The flowers, veggies, scarves, swatches..OOOOhh you are one lucky lady to be surrounded by so much beauty at once not to mention hardworking! Keep up the good work, everything is looking wonderful.
Oh Anne!!!!!
You are killing me!
My Wantseses/Backlog list grows every friggen time you design something.
And to be even more evil, I preach the beauty of knitspot. I send links to your websites to non knitting friends and family. I also sent them to knitting friends who are wanting to start working in lace.
I must wait until payday. But I do not have to like it!
Oh my!!!!! I will get it after my week away!! I have some Seasilk which will love this pattern!!!! Gorgeous!!!!!!!!
I *love* this scarf! I wanted to knit a scarf for someone as a thank you for something she did, and this one is exactly what I needed. I guess I’ll have to knit it twice, though, ’cause I need it for myself as well!
