The yarn is the perfect color for my niece, who is small and lovely. Lace would be nice.
First I tried to do three cables with lace in between.
Looked okay from the front.And really horrid from behind.
So I frogged that and decided to try a simple lace pattern called "Rabbit Tracks."
I like it. I'm anticipating great things when it's blocked.It wouldn't win any beauty contests from the back, but it's sure better than those cables.
One thing I am learning from this is count and count again. If I screw up on one row, it kicks my derrière on the next. It's going to take a whole lot more practice before I can go backwards to fix my boo-boos on lace with any ease.P.S. The photos look weird because they're not photos. I scanned the knitting on my Epson flatbed scanner. Interesting thing is that the red is a whole lot closer than I could get it using my camera.

So THAT'S how you get a good red on the blog! Thank you!
And I'm delighted you like Rabbit Tracks. It was my first pattern I ever got to see actually in print.

Thank you, Alison, for putting your pattern up for the public. It's a great pattern for a neophyte knitter's first try at lace, and pretty too.
