Lace knitting—from easy to INSANE ( even though none of them are insane) This time, every pattern I’m sharing is something I’ve actually knit. Come see my finished projects as we work our way from simpler lace to the more challenging end of my knitting collection.

If you love lace knitting patterns or are wondering what your next challenge might be, grab your knitting and join me for a visit. There’s plenty of colorful knitting inspiration along the way!

Tell me in the comments: do you love a simple lace repeat, enjoy a challenge, or fall somewhere in between? Which project caught your eye?

Every lace pattern in this episode is one I’ve actually knit! 🧶💕 Where do you land on the Easy to Insane scale—simple repeats, a little challenge, or bring on the charts? And which of my projects would you most like to knit?

You are more comfortable and animated talking about your own knits as you did in this video. I loved it.

@ashleywilkison5507 1 hour ago

I like that you show what you’ve done and I really like how you point out the patterns you want to do.

@peggyrighter3605 1 hour ago

I preferred seeing the projects that you have knitted.

@lydiajoy1823 16 hours ago

Fun video, and I prefer this format. I like to see what you have actually knit.

I did watch both videos and like this one best because you are sharing from your own experience. That is much more meaningful and valuable, IMO. It is wonderful to see the live examples and hear about the yarns, the stitches, how long it took, if it was a test knit, a buddy knit, etc. So many knit podcasters talk about their fantasy knits and, tbh, I don’t really care what they want to knit. I have my own list of fantasy knits. I like learning about patterns by hearing first hand someone’s experience of knitting them. Thank you!

Thanks for the bundle! It makes following your selections easier.

Update! I did find By the Sea, a free pattern on Ravelry 😊

@saramauricewhitver5758 15 hours ago

I love hearing about your experience rather than just a list that you haven't knitted :-) I struggle so much with lace. I've been knitting for 20 years and I can do all of the other things but lace kills me, so good job on all these lovely pieces!

I wish you were my neighbor I need a knitting Rabbi, love all your content. Tell the brother your fans are praying for him!

I prefer seeing the things you have knitted, but i also value your thoughts on the ones that you have not knitted or dont think will ever knit (and why). I know ive seen some gorgeous works of art, but they may not be my style or i dont see myself ever having the time and/or patience to take on a project of that magnitude. Thank you again 💓 Melissa, and have a great rest of your week 😊

I’m a garment knitter so I prefer just the garments. I also like that it’s your personal opinion from what you’ve actually knit. I think that’s super helpful especially for someone who is new to cables and lace. Once again I loved your video.

@kirstmlarson1 8 hours ago

The cable video was so helpful as was this video about the lace patterns. As a newer knitter, it’s so helpful to hear your experience with a pattern.

I agree with a lot of comments that I liked you talking about patterns that you have personally knit. I like to hear your experience of knitting it and how you liked the finished product. Colorwork- yes! Different constructions- yes! All the yarny goodness ❤

I love the beginners section, because I'm a beginner it is very informative and gives me hope thanks . i.

I prefer when you speak about projects you’ve actually made. That’s how I feel about everyone’s pattern round ups actually. I knit the Salty Air tee by Samantha Guerin as one of my first lace knits. I thought it was pretty easy with stitch markers. It also fits very well.

@AlgonquinPrincess 18 hours ago

Excellent, excellent reviews! And appreciate the yarn reviews, too! My SIL is fairly new knitter and she asks me for pattern ideas. I love the dosey-doo of lace knitting 😊

@aprilabbatoy 13 hours ago

Make both kinds of videos. I like watching both. A future projects video of patterns you have the yarn for might be fun. I enjoy listening to you prattle on about knitting.

@maryannbergeron9531 18 hours ago

I love lace knitting. I have made 5 Ihla’s, a couple were gifts and I have made 3 Ranunculi. You are so right about the pattern being addictive. As usual your videos are so informative. 😊❤
