From the beautiful coffeetable book
Knitter's Stash (2001) by Barbara Albright, I found her intriguing patterns for elaborate lace washcloths. She has eight different lace patterns, and suggests using linen as knitting yarn for these small projects.
Knitting a smaller piece is a good way to see which lace pattern repeat you prefer from the eight discussed.
Using a bright wool/polyester fiber with slubs, here is the completed project called "Feather and Fan":
And here is one use for this little jewel:
It is a canvas for a terrarium placed beneath a painting on an entryway table. Those bright colors just make me happy.
And now I am ready to complete a shawl with the same "feather and fan" lace repeat on its edges. This smaller snippet of lace was helpful in familiarizing myself with that particular pattern repeat.
