Wendy Supreme Cotton DK - Pattern 5877
I am not the biggest fan of lacework. Someone will always interupt mid-row with something of no importance, especially the other half! This top, though could be an exception, though. Only half of the garment is lace and the pattern is only 8 rows repeat, furthermore it looks sooooo pretty!! It is also not heavy on the price to make, only 5 balls for the size 22"
Knitted in Wendy Supreme Cotton Dk, a 100% mercerised cotton yarn which has been around for a long time but now has had a palette make-over. The ball size is still 100g, but there is now a range of bright Summer colours to perk things up a bit, including Sherbert Lemon and a Dove Grey.
One peace of advice that I stick to when knitting patterns is to finish the pattern block before putting it down so I know where I am when I pick it up again, even if it is 6 months or 6 years time!
Other helpful requirements other than yarn for this pattern are 4mm and 3.25mm knitting pins, a stitch holder and peace and quiet, also a pot of tea.
