Victorian Lace Today

Now, I had a look at that today at Chapters, and decided not to buy it. While there were many nice patterns there, I just didn't find enough to get me excited enough to spend that kind of money. Maybe another time.

I was thinking about the Cap Shawl because of that beautiful spiral in the center! I must just grit my teeth and start something (teeth gritted because if I start something all the others are not done!)

Is the lace all knit, or are there crochet patterns in there? I'm interested, but don't really knit. My hooks and I have a long and satisfying history together and I'm just not good enough with needles to purl comfortably, let alone work on lace patterns.

Knitpixie has a really beautiful round lace shawl crochet pattern available that I'm thinking about attempting someday, but probably I won't get a chance to do anything other than think for a year or more (when the youngest kid is a little more independent and I don't have to keep stopping mid-count to rescue/fix/feed/change/etc. him).

Sorry, all the lace is knit.

I've put this on my wish list after hearing about it. It will be the first thing I buy myself after xmas if Santa doesn't come through :)
