I purchased this book a few days ago. It includes a primer on lace knitting and 20 beautiful patterns. I started these socks with a pretty little simple lace pattern. These are knit with CoBaSi yarn. This yarn has a nice elasticity to it.

Can I ask a really silly question? I’ve only just made simple stocking stitch socks, so I often wonder if lace ends up being uncomfortable – does it chafe the foot after a while?…
No, CoBaSi is cotton, bamboo and silk. They feel great on your feet.
Thanks for letting me know!
