Hooray! the lace is done!

Hooray! I’m done with the lace! Dsc00985 I’m so happy! For some reason I couldn’t seem to get the lace on 7 stitches, I was doing mine with 9, with the YOs and K2tog and sl1-k1-psso. Can anyone explain to me how it was done only with 7. I just can’t figure it out! I’m very happy with how it came out. Esp. Since this was my first try at lace! I hope to finish the purl rows tonight or tomorrow and then try it on before switching back to the other yarn. If I knit this again, I think I’d just go with one color and not at the fancy in the lace. The sequins are kind of scratchy. I know that I will be wearing a cami under this. (I’m thinking a lt gray would be pretty.) but still. If I have enough of the reg. silk I think I will just use that for around the neck.

I am also still plugging along with the lucy bag.  I’m working on the straps.  I hope to finish very soon.  It’s my take and work on in the car project.

My niece loved her purse I made her for her b-day.  I will have to get a picture of her with it one of these days. She is away at college.

    Looks good! On the lace issue – the pattern said to first adjust your stitch count to a multiple of 7 (before starting the lace) if you had made any additional increases beyond what the pattern directed. Then for each 7 stitch repeat, basically you’re adding a yarn-over on each side to offset the decrease on that side, so you should still end up with the same number of stitches at the end. Does that make sense or not answer your point?
