Lace Creation
The cool thing about lace charts is you can use them in so many different ways. For example, for this scarf our friend Mikki took a lace chart she liked did a few repeats across and repeated the chart long ways until she was happy with the length and Voilà! you have a lovely lace scarf. You can do this with any lace chart you like. If you have a short chart just do a few repeats to make it wider or maybe you have found a wide lace chart that will make the perfect lace scarf. We have another L & B customer that will exchange one lace chart in a pattern for another in a sweater to get the exact look she wants. Talk about customizing your knitting.
This customized project was knitted out of Noro Sekku beautifully crafted in Japan of 50% cotton, 17% wool, 17% nylon, & 16% silk. Every project I have seen knitted out of this this yarn has turned out magnificent. The vivid colors are very eye catching and when you wear your newly knitted project you are sure to turn some heads. This is one of the most interesting new lace yarns of the season, you can see different colorways at our online shop just click here! -B

It’s always interesting to see how knitters can be inspired in similar ways! I agree that simple lace stitch patterns seem to be best for yarns as stunning as Sekku. This is exactly like the one I wrote and charted several months ago: Spring Festival Scarf.
