#showmeyourknits lace edition!

From a year-long mystery knit-a-long in 2025. I made two in similar colourways but different yarns as a bit of a study in fibre characteristics. This one knit in 100% Shetland Wool.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to β€œrun” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

I just finished it today so haven’t really test run it. I think the sleeves are perfection but I wouldn’t wash dishes in them!
