Well they say that knitting is the new Yoga! It has become very popular in
recent years. The Internet is great for yarn buying if your local town does
not yet have yarn shop which stocks anything other than acrylic furry stuff.
(Yes, I an a yarn snob!!)
Are any of you members of the Ravelry community? (http://www.ravelry.com)
It is a wonderful resource for free knitting patterns (including lace
knitting). There are lots of Groups devoted to lace knitting and the
members of these Forums are very helpful if you need advice.
The Guild of Irish Lacemakers has recently had lace knitting classes on
their workshop days which I have enjoyed very much.

Hmmmm..... this may be a good sign that the time is right for a class in
knitted lace this summer! One is being offered at Sweet Briar if anyone
is interested.

I have been busy knitting too - having made sweaters for my husband and
son for Christmas. The one for my son was so much liked by them both that
I have bought more of that yarn to make one in it for my husband. The
yarn is so soft to the touch and a delight to knit, but you have to keep
it well away from lace as it sheds. I used Misti Alpaca chunky, and I've
ordered a ball of the worsted weight to see if it is also as soft. If it
is I will order more and make something for myself out of it
