Finished Object Friday

Happy Friday.  I have been missing in action due to the new job.  Hopefully it will calm down soon.  The sun finally came out and I got some pictures of my lace curtains.

I never caught it with sun coming through it but you can see the beads in this picture.

I'm very happy with how it turned out.  I was quite tired of paper on the window.  You can get the pattern free at Crest of the Wave Lace Curtains on Ravelry.

Got to run, board meeting today and then off to San Antonio.  Tomorrow is my son's 16th birthday.  So hard to believe.

Head over to Tami's.

White Lace

I've been playing around with some very fine white lace. from Sonja Esbensen's book, Knitted Lace - in White.  My eyes maybe too old to handle this.  Pearl Cotton in 20 weight with 0 knitting needles.  This is the Christina pattern - for my first one I had to go with my namesake pattern.  The pattern calls for even smaller needles but for my first try this seemed good enough.  And things are going along very well and then I realize that I made a mistake in a round where the marker had to be moved.  Not sure you can see it on this picture but it is by my index finger.  The diagonal line of three knitted stitches is touching the arched cap and that was supposed to be offset.  Oh well.  I started over and am happier with my restart.  More pictures on that tomorrow.
