I have spent a lot of time over the last week getting a new class up and running, "Hairpin Lace Connecting Up".
It is the next class after you learn to make hairpin strips. I did a lot of research on different ways to put together the strips. After making all the samples I spent Friday night writing all the instructions up. This is my favorite join so far.
I had a lot of people in this class and they were all very excited about doing hairpin lace and moving on to bigger projects. We are talking about doing the Stitch Diva Hairpin skirt as a KAL, we'll see.
One of the students found these encredible antique hairpin laces using the thinest thread and real hairpins to make the strips on.
Can you imagine actually doing this? I sure cann't.
But what a treasure, and she gave them to me so I can show them when I teach this class. Thanks Camille!!
Almost done with the cheveron scarf.
I love this thing. I think it is one of my most favorite items that I have made in a while. It just makes me happy to knit with this yarn (koigu) and these colors.
The simple joys are the best, don't you think?

I agree the simple things are best, especially if they are KOIGU! You're going to keep on showing that chevron scarf to me until I break down and make one, aren't you? you enabler!
I like that hairpin lace connection too, although I might choose different colors if I were to do it; that one is my favorite of all of the one's you have done.
I love those two colors together in your hair pin lace picture! I've been intrigued with this technique ever since I saw the Lotus Smock Dress & Camisole pattern at Stitch Diva. I just wish I could wear it and look good! Maybe someday I'll take your class. ;)
Your Chevron scarf is beautiful. :)
These are gorgeous HPL examples and your join is fabulous and is one of the more interesting ones I have seen.
I love the multi-colored hairpin lace project! You make me wat to add hpl to my repertoire!
