That's Sooooo Goth!

Greetings everyone! It's been a while! Over a year actually, but I am back with more fun, exciting projects and ideas to share. While I was away I learned a lot about knitting (lace knitting to be precise...it's now my favorite!) I was in a super creative, experimental mood, so I decided to see if I could create a really messy, random piece of lace knitting that would have a torn gothic lace look. I think I succeeded! I'm really happy with it, and can't wait to try this out on a shawl or shrug.



My gothic lace obsession went on for some time, and so I came across some other awesome stitch patterns that could become 'goth' by knitting them in black, but also by using bigger needles and finer yarn to make things look really open and lacy. Here's a site of free knitting patterns that is simply awesome http://www.knittingfool.com/

That's all for now, stay tuned because I may actually do something on this blog this year!
