I Followed All The Clues.
They led to . . .
The first clue would be my sudden impulse to sign up for a 4 month lace class. Little did I know this was going to be my training for the big event.
Next, an email from Marji sending me the link. She didn't stop there. She publicly outted me as a possible contender.
The third clue would be from Sarah. She is writing a book of knitting patterns. (How cool is that?) I get to be test knitter for one of her projects. You guessed it - it's lace.

You're an enabler! I'm thinking the Schafer Yarn that you sent is the right shade of green for a shawl / wrap possibility to go with my dress! I was watching the Amazing Race. I signed up :)
oh yes! I love the progress on the doily. What a beautiful pattern.
You get to be a test knitter for one of Sarah's Patterns???? oh, I'm jealous, I'd just like to even meet her.
This would explain my sudden urge to learn to do lacey stuff.
I joined. I'm blaming you. :P
This looks like so much fun!
