Swirls of water, whirls in space
Knits and purls and dashing lace
Growing peaks, converging lines
Round and round so many times
Mystic Vortex, mesmerizing
Lace in circles, so enticing
Welcome one and welcome all

Yes! Finally a pattern for my paintbox lace!
Looks great – I’m in!
Anna – I am so excited to be doing another of your KALs. I purchased your pattern this morning but it hasn’t shown up in my Ravelry library. I am marilise55 there. Thanks.
I’m really enjoying your design and look forward to another KAL.
Hi Lise!
I can see your purchase, but for some reason it doesn’t show up as “Marilise” (and as far as I can tell that’s your Rav ID, not Marilise55), just lisegray@…. I’m not sure why that is, but I’ll gift it through Rav, and that should force it into your library.
Let me know if you have any issues accessing it.

Hello,
I am a beginner knitter. Is it possible for me to join? I like Kals and i have one skein of perfect yarn for tis project. I am a quick learning lady 😉
It seems that Fiber Optics Yarn is out of stock of all but one of the colour schemes for Lace Paintbox Gradient. Do you have alternate suggestions?
There is more coming on Sep 27 and Oct 11. But if you’re looking for alternatives, almost any lace weight yarn will do.
The closest option is the Fiber Optics merino lace in a solid colour (which is in stock in several colours).
Otherwise Unique Sheep has a number of gradience sets as well in 3 different lace bases, and those would work too.
Absolutely. We’d love to have you!
