Once in the grove of lace knitting, the movements became very fluid and muscle memory started kicking in. I was really surprised that I was able to stick to this project and complete it in a few weeks.
By the way, this stitch pattern is really similar to one called Print O’ the Wave that appears in a book on Shetland lace knitting called Heirloom Knitting. Eunny also has a version of this lace pattern which is available via a free PDF download.
I’m glad that I followed through and ordered the kit from Virtual Yarns. The yarn was a joy to knit and the right weight for a cold weather garment.

I have seen this lace pattern called “coral lace” also. Congratulations on the finished project–do you need some Mermaid socks to complement it?

It’s beautiful. Starmore’s yarns are gorgeous. Plumper and more complex,colourwise,than trad. shetland 2ply. You’ll have to invest [!] in one of her garment kits ! ;-]
