So, it turns out that designing lace is really really hard. Especially if you’ve never done anything like it before. I think I’ve gotten a fairly decent start, though. See the references I have gathered?
I think I’m ready to get out some graph paper and start sketching. Have you, reader, designed lace? What references have you used that you found particularly helpful?

OOOooh. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! I’m sure it will be awesome! : )
The only sucdess I’ve had with knitting lace is in dishcloths. lol Looks like you’ve got a good stack of reference material, though. :-)
