Hi, As a new empty nester, I am trying out new stuff as a means of growing into this "old" part of my life... I have never blogged before and would like to know what the protocols are.
I don't have the Lace Style book yet, but I love Pam Allen' & Ann Budd's previous works. What do you gals suggest for a great lace jump in point? I hve knit for a while, and LOVE lace knitting.
The inspiration for this knitalong is Pam Allen and Ann Budd's Lace Style, a new book about knitting lace with 21 inspired patterns from some of the country's most talented and inventive knitwear designers. Members of this KAL are encouraged to share their own creative versions of the patterns as well as their tips and suggestions for yarn substitions. We hope these patterns will give you new ways to think about knitting lace.
Want to Join?
Email knitalong AT interweave DOT com and we'll send you a link with instructions on how to start posting to the site. Please include Lace Style KAL in the subject line.

Kali, The retro redux shrug seems to be the most popular among knitters in the group and is a great jumping point! Sandi Wiseheart's lace baby hat on KnittingDaily.com would also be a good starting project for the intermediate knitter:
