Muscle Memory



I love it when a lace pattern becomes second nature and your hands glide along knitting fluidly, halting occasionally to double check because something doesn't feel right.

That something about lace that compels you to just knit 1 more repeat and another and then 1 more after that.


This is my new favorite pattern and it looks great in all the semi-solid hand dyed yarns that are so popular right now.

Needles: US 1, 2.25 mm Kollage square dpns
