Don’t be scared! It’s just lace.
It’s finally summer, and you know what that means….. a brand new KAL/CAL! This season, we’re all about that lace. Be it lace-weight yarn, a lace stitch pattern, or both, summer is the time to kick back and enjoy all the light and lovely things.
So here's the plan
I want to do something a little different and you will have the chance to earn multiple entries into the prize drawing! You may choose how YOU define lace.
You’ll get one entry into the Fashion Show drawing if you use a lace weight yarn, you’ll get one entry if you make something using a lace stitch pattern, but you’ll get THREE entries if you use both!
(As always, entries only count if you participate in the Fashion Show)
Here’s our timeline:
Cast-on (or chain) Party: Friday, June 17
Halfway check-in: Friday, July 15
Fashion Show!: Saturday, August 13
*Yarn suggestions: Silkpaca, Findley, and Garden 10 crochet thread*
