I'm so much not a joiner ... yeah right





I fell right down that Mystery Shawl knitalong rabbit hole. Hard. And fell right off the "knitting from stash" diet too - although I made that for an entire six months (excepting dishcloth and sock yarn).













But yeah, I got suckered right in, even though I have never tackled anything but some very simple lace. Me and 6500 + others. Oy.

OK, the statistics.

Jaggerspun Zephyr Vanilla, 2 balls
size 5 needles and creamy ivory colored pearl beads from Beadwrangler (whose service is amazingly fast).


I've managed a whole 25 of the first Clue's 100 rows and thank heavens for the nice lady who is translating the charts. This should be quite a challenge.

Hope I'm up to it.






The latest of Summer's bounty.

This is already gorgeous. I love knitting lace. And your timing is perfect with vacation coming up!

I think one of the other blogs I read is doing the same mystery lace:
