I have started a crocheted jacket called "Sambuca Jacket", pattern by Doris Chan. I have her book, Amazing Crocheted Lace, and it's in this book. This one will be the practice project to make sure I know what I'm doing, then I'll choose another yarn to make the "good" project from. The photo shown is not mine...mine is only partially done. I still have most of the body and the sleeves to do. But it's a top-down pattern, so I can try it on as I go. I hope there's not a lot of ripping out to be done.
And I've finally spun just over 600 yards of the teal romney, and am ready to cast on for my lace stole. After searching through the patterns, I have finally settled on SeaScape, the designer's photo is pictured below:
I plan to add crystal seed beads to it and am marking the chart to be sure I know what I'm doing. And, arrgh! I re-read the pattern as I was placing bead markers and, apparently, I need about 100 yards more of the laceweight, so I'll be continuing to spin while I'm still off work this week. Not quite as ready as I thought I was.
I wonder if this is a good way to start the new year...loading myself up with projects. At least I'll be busy!

Oh, do post pictures as you go! That Seascape pattern is gorgeous.
I wish you a truly Happy New Year. And may all your dreams come true!
I have thought about the Seascape. I think I have perfect yarn for the Seascape. I even cast on for the Seascape. But then got started with something else. I think it is a summer knit for me...
Oh, they are gorgeous patterns. You are some kind of world-class crochet artist.
Kathleen I like the jacket and the name and the lace stole looks so delicate, I so envy your talent.
Kathleen my dad and neighbor made moon shine also, I had almost forgot this, I was also born in 1933.
