Notes

OK, so this isn’t true crazy lace, but it is inspired by the crazy lace idea. I haven’t read Myra Wood’s book, Crazy Lace (who can afford $154 for an OOP 100pg paperback from 2009???), but I am inspired by the idea behind it, & this is my first project with that aesthetic in mind. Which means when I made a mistake, I just worked it in.

Mods

  • double-wide (CO 115 sts)
  • bigger needles (#8US)

Measurements

  • unblocked = 21” x 58”
  • blocked = 21” x 72” (Tried to block deeper, but it didn’t work out that way.)

I over-dyed the gray yarn into a more ‘Velma’ colorway that I’m calling ‘2 Buck Chuck’
