Needle lace is made by essentially embroidering in thin air. I have not tried it, preferring the relative ease of crocheted or knitted lace. This scarf could inspire me to try, though.

I have done a lot of knitting, of course, but it is also a joy to be given something knit by another--in this case, some kindred spirit more than an ocean away from my home.

es un hermoso detalle, me encantan este tipo de cosas de otros paises. y las zapatillas se ven calorosas.
