Lace is soooo hard to photograph. Let’s face it. The beauty of lace is similar to that of a butterfly’s life. At the beginning it looks lumpy, blobby, and ordinary on the needles. Then, after some stretching it transforms into a thing of grace and beauty, like a butterfly from it’s cocoon.
I’ve knit past the peacock’s small tail feathers and am now to the section of feathery V’s and “eyes”. However, I am still less than half done. Fortunately, this is a slow work week and I should be able to continue a good pace of knitting. Another couple of weeks like this and I should be close to done. I can’t wait to see if it turns out like I’ve imagined. Can you?
Also, I was choosen to be part of Eve’s first Yarnival. I feel really honored because there are a lot of well written posts. She is accepting submissions for the second edition.

Wow is a good word - it looks like it will have a beautiful sculpture quality. So exciting to watch it develop! (I get scary images of peacock size coccoons though ;)
Congrats on Yarnival, how cool is that! :)
