This is one of many from "Knitted Lace Designs of Herbert Niebling". A picture of it is on page 48 and the charted pattern on pages 50-51.
I used #30 DMC Cebelia Crochet Thread with US sz 0 circular needles.
This lovely knitted lace traveled with me to Canada on Holiday with Julie and caused many a conversation on the Clipper!

Can't wait to see this one finished Maria. Niebling has some spectacular designs. I don't have his 'books', but a number of his designs have been in ANNA which I do have. Good luck with it as you go along. Those stitch markers are so much more glamorous than my little loops of contrast yarn!!!
ReplyDeleteMaria, this looks absolutely lovely I am not surprised you received a lot of remarks.
ReplyDeleteDid the people who remarked on your knitting also remark on your beautiful thick hair....
I am just starting out on lace knitting.....I have a long way to go. When I can knit a lace shawl or something without too much swearing I will move on to another more complicated...very impressive!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I retire, I would love to drive out and visit you so that we could work on a Herbert Niebling design together. I really think I would need to moral support to finish one of his beautiful designs!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it caused many a conversation, as well as a bucket or two of drool!
ReplyDeleteI'm always in awe when I see someone knitting such fine work on the train. I'll bet you're a delight to watch in person, but I'll bet viewers wish they could put you on slow motion!
