My First Lace Knitting Project~~~

Finaly, Iam almost finsh knitting my basketweave scarf today~~ I will post some pic this weeken....Meanwhile, I started my new project for spring! I was thinking about the lace knitting for so long time and lot of knitter saying that "Lace knitting takes time and concentration".I think that true. Because I saw Ted blog, he was finsh knitting really nice complicated and intricate lace shawl. Check his website out~~~WOW!!! HE IS GREAT KNITTER I TELL YA!!!

Last week, I got my yarn from online yarn store "fuzzymabel". I really love this this store~~ They have a so much kind of yarn for great price!!!

Anyway, I was looking for very easy lace pattern for my first knittung lace project. Kenny(boy who knit) was kindly tell me try some Susan's "Branching Out- Leaf Lace Scarf" This is pattern from Knitty.com(click here for pattern)

Kenny was saying to me this is easy lace project and everybody can do it!!!!!
So I got a "Elsebth Lavold Silky Wool" Moss color #8 from "Fuzzymabel" It was hard to find this great silk yarn. Only two web yarn store is selling this yarn. This yarn I got is for $6.95. NOT TOO BAD!!!!

For this pattern, You just need to learn Three new stitch:

k3tog: k3tog:knit three stitches together

sl-k2tog-psso: slip one stitch purlwise, knit the next two stitches together, pass the slipped stitch over

sl2-k1-p2sso: slip two stitches together knitwise (i.e., slip two stitches as if to knit them together), knit the next stitch, pass the two slipped stitches over

Everybody know this but iam new into does stitch so...

This is so far. When I was starting to knit..It was so difficult to knit because this is my first time knitting lace scarf and TOO MUCH STITCH in one low. Also didnt know how to YO(yarn over) and SSK(past two S. and knit). So I made too much mistake... I less ten time redo it over and over again!!! That 10 lows took so much time almost 3hour......But it come out really!!! WHAT YOUGUYS THINK?

I just pin up does progress, to see the lace pattern...When i finsh knitting i have it block so...

I finally get my two knitting book today from "Knitpicks" It was on sell so!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
