It was driving me nuts. So I put down the lace until I get back from my trip and can find some better needles. Since I have never done a lace weight piece before , I had no idea which needles would be better suited. Thanks again for the brand name.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-1154403811426446682006-07-31T20:43:00.000-07:002006-07-31T20:43:00.000-07:00I forgot to mention that if your Addi Turbos are t...I forgot to mention that if your Addi Turbos are too blunt for lace knitting, you might like to try the *very affordable* but very pointy Susan Bates Quicksilver circulars. They're a teflon coated aluminum (I believe) and I used them for knitting my Calliope shell. They have the sharpest points of any needles I have and seem to be easy to find at knitting shops (I've been to two shops recently and the both carried these needles). There's my two cents on the needle question. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721379533440341110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-1154369517319471412006-07-31T11:11:00.000-07:002006-07-31T11:11:00.000-07:00WW-I got so frustrated with the lace scarf, I star...WW-I got so frustrated with the lace scarf, I started yet another project, which is going swimmingly along. It's another baby sweater for my nephew for Christmas. It's in the small stages right now so I can take it on the plane with me for my trip this week. I hope I get lots of knitting time. Let's hope that I finish all my projects this year!<BR/><BR/>Laura-the lace pattern is from a local designer. She works part-time at a local shop and has only just started selling her own patterns recently. When I finish the scarf you are welcome to the pattern. It's a pretty simple straight forward pattern, but I am having a hard time finding the most perfect needles.<BR/><BR/>I want the jacket to be right and it really does look funny, too funny for me to give to anyone as a gift later down the road. So it really needs to be corrected. Let's see how long it takes me to get it reknitted! I wish I could find a baby to model it for me. I might have to ask a stranger!vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-1154365820725201622006-07-31T10:10:00.000-07:002006-07-31T10:10:00.000-07:00Which lace scarf pattern are you using?

I need to get back to mine - I have two on the needles right now.<BR/><BR/>You have a great attitude about reknitting the 2nd sleeve of the green jacket. So many people would put it away and get up with frustration at that point. I'm looking forward to seeing the final results! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721379533440341110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-1154354792892600852006-07-31T07:06:00.000-07:002006-07-31T07:06:00.000-07:00You have some great projects going.
