You can knit socks and they're way harder than lace! My advice is to choose a pattern that is visually appealing to you and in the intermediate range. I also recommend chosing a pattern with multiple motifs to stave off the repetitive lace boredom!<BR/><BR/>As for the yarn - I am a fan of Jagger's Zephyrspun Silk/Wool in lace weight (they also make a DK in that yarn - make sure you get the lace). You can get it at Sarah's Yarns for $6.00 for a 630m ball! I did my shawl with just one ball.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see what you choose. :)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985490421218287302noreply@blogger.com
