I finished the malabrigo!!! Too bad I didn't check the yardage while it was on the niddy noddy. Oops. But it is my average for 4oz tops which I spin into 3 ply fingering yarn so based on past projects I would say about 500yds.

I'm almost finished* with my current project!
*read: almost out of thread on the bobbins because I don't have a plan for the lace and thus don't have a planned stopping point for length
(pattern is a modified-by-me version of this Framed Rose Ground)
And I'm super excited to start the next one!
(pattern is this Roman Maze)
It's probably way too advanced for my skill level, as I really haven't made many pieces before (the pattern in the first picture twice, a bookmark piece with spiders and Torchon ground, a bookmark with Torchon ground and one diamond of cloth stitch, and then another bookmark piece of just Torchon ground).
I've also never done a mat of any sort before, or worked with gimps at all, which this pattern has a frankly ridiculous amount of.
But I've learned that doing pieces I'm already capable of is incredibly boring for me. The first piece that I did was just Torchon ground with twisted footside, and it was so boring and unchallenging (and also looked like I could crochet it in minutes) that I almost gave up lace making as soon as I started.
So I've figured that the best way to keep my own interest is to jump headfirst into the deep end and flounder until I figure out how to swim!
That said, if anyone has any advice on gimps (do you really not secure them to the rest of the lace? do you really just rely on the surrounding twists to hold them in place??! that seems insanely tenuous!), it's more than welcome!

mxy doesnt get enough credit for not only summoning what he believed to be a deranged demonic ghoul to kill his family, but also setting him free into the world wearing his face after the deed was done. like, that man really was ready to let the world BURN

i referenced how violet from the incredibles turned invisible when she's shy in my team meeting today and my coworker said (in a complimentary way) that the way i make references is unique because they're really wide-ranging. which a) i don't think the incredibles is that deep a cut, but b) i agree and i think it comes from having older parents (and in my dad's case, him being raised by older parents in turn). bedtime for bonzo (1951) and roll over beethoven (1956) get referenced all the time in my house, usually in relation to my dog, but also my dad keeps quoting the kendall roy "FAMILY THERAPY" line to me recently

ladies in my lace making class keep wondering how I manage to get through a whole strip so fast and I don't know how to tell them that my brain is hardwired to weird pattern recognition and once said pattern clicks I just Go
