More Icarus Progress
Published April 1, 2007 by CabledSheep
This isn’t the greatest photo, but I’m nearing the end of chart 2 of Icarus, and it’s exciting to see the shaping that’s starting to take place.
I love how Miriam has designed the pattern so that it isn’t just a border pattern attached to the main pattern. Instead, the lace grows naturally from the body into the border, like seedlings growing and stretching and eventually forming into beautiful flowers. (Or in this case, feathers.) It does make knitting the lace a little more challenging since every row is different as the pattern evolves, but yet it’s easy to see the logic in it, and keep on track.

YAY! That is one of the things I’m REALLY particular about with my designs, so I’m glad that you appreciate that about it
Icarus is looking good!
Sweet! I’ve heard so much about this pattern. I love the color you chose. Can’t wait to see it modeled!
