I just found ravelry a short while ago. I knew it was there before, I just hadn't joined, because I knew I would get nothing done once I started reading the site. I was right!
Hundreds of patterns, hundreds of yarns, hundreds of groups = hundreds of hours reading! It's so much fun :)
I just started a lace shawl. I'm just using a stitch from Barbara Walker's Treasury of Lace Knitting.

I love to knit lace. I've been knitting forever, both by hand and by machine. I no longer knit by machine, just by hand, and mostly just lace.
I knit cobweb lace shawls, with size #0000 needles and very thin 'thread', and I also knit fluffy 'clouds' of lace with a wonderful angora/wool blend that I got when I cleaned out an old wool mill. I also picked up a ton of pure wool that is fairly fine, but I am so in love with the angora that I haven't done much with the wool.
