Summer lace

It’s finally warm here, after too many rainy weekends. It was also my first (relatively) quiet weekend in a long time. I delivered the swimsuits and am one dress away from being able to sew for myself again. I went to the fabric store with Rosie and picked out the material for my summer pants. Very excited!

The pattern for this top comes from Lace Style. I think it was my second lace project, and the first to come out like the sample. I used crochet cotton held double (as the pattern recommends).  The original pattern has smaller lace repeats at the top, which I skipped. It might make for slightly more interesting knitting than an entire top in one simple pattern, but I prefer the look with them all the same. It was a quick knit, a great project for someone new to lace.
