I have wanted for a while to use lacy tape<\/a> and knit circles<\/a> to make…well, actually I was stumped on application. When I described my swatch experiments on Twitter, Naomi Parkhurst<\/a> dm-med a sketch of how I could make a crescent shawl with them, and I tucked that into my mental file of things I really wanted to figure out but thought might be hard.<\/p>\n
