Heirloom is knitting code for "This pattern is so difficult that you would consider death a relief."

After I moved to the tropics I stopped knitting for a good long while. The weather was just too hot to have yarn on my lap on a regular basis.

Now, however, I've started knitting lace again. It's time consuming but pretty enough for all the effort to be worth it.

So far, I have a lace collar and a garter up on etsy so we'll see how it goes...
