Did you get some leather in exchange for the lace?

2) Rocqui said (on 05/ 4/06 at 06:20 PM):

Pretty! Very nice!

3) Jill Smith [TypeKey Profile Page] said (on 05/ 4/06 at 07:54 PM):

Most excellent.

It's quite lovely! You are a master with the needles. I'd love a big doyle for my piano! In case you're taking requests.

It looks very pretty :D

As always, you're very talented.

Good Lord Above! Knitting, go-go dancing, porn film star, author, playwright, singer, songwriter, poet, aerobics instuctor, cheerleader and I have forgotten all what else; Faustsus, you are the living epitome of the gift that just goes on giving!

How can wool serve effectively as a cock ring??? Hmm...

12) Johnboy said (on 05/ 5/06 at 07:44 AM):

VERY impressive, and yet I inexplicably am left wondering which one of you bitches is my mother. What's up with that?

13) Gary said (on 05/ 5/06 at 10:22 AM):

Lovely and kudos on the Seattle workshop thingy.

14) Melody said (on 05/ 5/06 at 11:06 AM):

Hey, is that the Branching Out scarf from Knitty? Cause that was my first attempt at lace, too! This is gorgeous. I did mine in grey alpaca and it curls in on the sides, no matter how much I block it.

15) Joe said (on 05/ 5/06 at 11:26 AM):

"Joe: Answer the sports questions in Trivial Pursuit."

Ack! Me either. However, I suspect that you could memorize all the sports question answers (like Suzanne Sugarbaker in a classic DESIGNING WOMEN ep) and still win.

Faustas, dearie, excellent job! What was the yarn? After I start my 12 Step group for sock knitters, I'm going to try lace. (But I'm not going into recovery for a while yet!)

Lauren -- If you can't use a cock ring, I'll trade you the tampon cozy one of my old SnB members gave out as a party favors. (I'm the only guy -- I held it up and said, "Oh, dear. I'm never going to fit in this." She didn't get it.)

And you know what they say -- a guy can't ever have too many cock rings!

17) Travis said (on 05/ 5/06 at 11:58 AM):

Beautiful!!

Who's Doyle?

;-)

I admire a man who can knit lace. I still haven't tackled lace knitting myself. I don't really ever knit anything but stockinette in the round. I don't really enjoy purling.

20) Jennifer said (on 05/ 5/06 at 03:43 PM):

Very nice. What yarn did you use?

21) David said (on 05/ 5/06 at 03:44 PM):

Your first attempt. Franklin is going to HATE you.

22) Jeffrey said (on 05/ 6/06 at 11:54 AM):

Oh dear, you are like Gay Gayerson gay now. I love, love, love it.

23) athens said (on 05/ 7/06 at 11:54 PM):

Wow that looks like it took forever. You had to be really bored to be inspired to try and make lace. Very pretty though. I imagine that if I tried that it would look like someone threw up some yarn.

24) rob7534 said (on 05/ 8/06 at 01:21 AM):

Lynn in Tucson,

I can't spell for shit. I meant a doyley.

25) Michael said (on 05/ 8/06 at 02:14 AM):

Very nice -- how long did it take to make?

26) Bill said (on 05/ 8/06 at 11:04 AM):

Very nice. Now you need to learn tatting.

27) Tallguy said (on 05/21/06 at 11:42 PM):

That is excellent! I haven't done the Branching Out yet, but it's on my list.. yes, I have a list.

When do you get time to knit??
