Item# 86

Knit this little sachet bag that starts with an easy 8-row lace edging. Filled with your favorite potpourri scents, it makes a delightful addition to your lingerie drawer or sweater shelf.

Knit an heirloom lace handkerchief. Kit includes pattern, quality thread for knitting the edging, and an Irish linen hemstitched handkerchief to which to attach your lace edging.

To complete the Lace-edged Handkerchief, you will also need a few yards of waste thread in a contrast color and similar weight to crochet cotton size 30, knitting needles US 00 / 1.75 mm, steel crochet hook size US 6 / 1.75 mm, and size 24 tapestry needle.

In its elemental form, lace is just holes arranged in a pleasing pattern. I think that what makes lace design so intriguing beyond just the holes is the texture that complements the lace. The slant of the compensating decreases, and other twists and turns of the stitches in the fabric create an extra dimension of interest. (The picture shown is from Kitty In Your Lap Towel.)

Turning tradition upside down — This small, simple shawl is designed to learn and practice neck-down construction and basic techniques for making a Faroese shawl in the traditional style — except upside down! Instructions for 3 variations are included. The size is suitable for 18" dolls and teddy bears, making it a delightful gift for a lucky doll or teddy bear lover!

Even adults deserve a favorite blanket in which to cuddle and shut out the cares of the world! I am a firm believer that not all lace needs to be in tiny yarn on tiny needles. This beautiful and practical lace blanket is a perfect example of "moose lace", i.e. lace knitted in a large gauge in heavier yarn. The lace makes this blanket lighter in weight for its size.
