I'm knitting 'Lace Sweater' designed by Zoe Mellor, for my granddaughter. I found the pattern on Ravelry, but had to register with Rowan before I could download it. That was a mission. For one thing, I had to create a complicated password, with capital and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Why? I was looking for a free knitting pattern, not opening a bank account. I only persisted because I really, really wanted the pattern! 'Lace Sweater' doesn't really seem an appropriate name to me, though it does have lace at the bottom edges:
The lace will need to be blocked before it shows up well. I'm pleased with how the jersey is turning out, now that I have managed to download the pattern.
Very pretty! I love the way the look of lace knitting changes once it's been blocked. Sometimes I can understand why a designer has given a name to a pattern, and other times I am baffled. Maybe a more appropriate name would have been Lace Accent Sweater. :-)
ReplyDeletePretty sweater, well worth persisting.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I chuckle at how hard free things are and how easy things that should be secure are...
Jane, it is awesome!
ReplyDeletethat looks like a very pretty sweater. You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteI too sometimes wonder about the complicated passwords some sites want, and then others seem so casual about it.
Can't wait to see the finished project!! It looks beautiful already!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe flower is beautiful, I haven't seen a knitted flower before.
