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.
