Why does it look so awful? Because it is unblocked, and lace looks like a blobby rag until you give it a good wash and block. But wait until you see it later on!
New on the needles is a yoke sweater for Miss P. I made her lots of sweaters when she was a little kid, but she really hasn't been interested in sweaters for years, now. Socks, yes. Sweaters? No. Until I sent out a yoke sweater for her mom. Hmmm. That's a neat sweater. I might want one. Given that she lives in the Frozen Northland, a warm woolly sweater might be useful. I'm making another Afmaeli sweater. Same width but much much longer. I'm 5'1" on a tall day; she's 5'7" with a bit of growth left. However, she tried on her mom's sweater (yep, it was mine, but DD liked it, and you know how that goes) and it fits very well in the width and yoke. So much longer in the body and sleeves, but given that it's worsted, it knits up quickly.
I started this 2 days ago, and have 6.5"done already.
