Latest Lace

I love fan lace edgings. I have spent a lot of time and effort collecting patterns for fan laces. And so, when I saw Piecework Magazine's latest issue with a recreated vintage version, I had to try it:

I love this pattern, but it is written out in a manner that makes it difficult to follow, and to pick it up again once you put it down. I simply cannot see being stuck to the magazine page the whole time I am making this. So I will be charting it in symbols--I think it will be worth it, I love the resulting lace!

gotta get ready for work. Sigh. Happy T-day everyone!

very nice! can you add length or do you have to start with the length of it and work onto that? {hopefully that made sense} Happy t day, too!

PJ, it is something that is made from side to side, each fan + it's heading added over the course of 13 rows. So you can make it any length you like at any time (i.e. stopping when you get tired!)
