#but i do enjoy knitting mildly elaborate lace and feeling smug.

[unopenablebox]

far enough in the lace section that my golden autumn shawl actually looks like something

#sort of regretting not using more visible beads but it was hard finding something i really liked with this yarn #now im wondering if i should try a niebling doily next. the answer is no bc i should aim to knit something i can use ever #& not make choices that encourage me to buy even more $40 skeins of pure silk rather than using the many extremely nice yarns i have #but i do enjoy knitting mildly elaborate lace and feeling smug. #box opener #knitting #i'm using dyeforyarn laceweight tussah silk and it is SO nice i'm really loving it. was worried it'd be splitty but so far not much #very soft very pleasant fabric. this thing will probably come out kind of small given that i'm down to like 3mms to get a fabric i like #but if i wear it it'll be as a scarf anyway. and it's sooo soft so who cares. #look at that fun honeycombed lace netting between the floral motifs. what more can a man want in life
