I framed the flawed bit of attempted lace and added letters from the scrapbook section at Jo-Ann’s that simply spell breathe. On the back of the frame is an envelope containing the post I wrote as well as the touching comments you left for us. Thank you!

And I did indeed conquer the lace knitting project. Starting over, I was finally able to successfully knit the pieces I wanted for embellishing towels. One of these days I’ll actually make some for pillowcases as that is what the lace was designed to adorn.

Ohmygosh Junie Moon -- it's beautiful!!! I love the first attempt reminder too -- very cool!
Your lace is so lovely and doesn't look like a first attempt!
Love that you framed the piece. So touching!
What a special project ~ thanks for sharing it and the link to the pattern.
crystal :)
The Breathe framed lace art is so lovely!
what a great idea!!
*So* glad you did that, June. It turned out just how I imagined. And will be special for generations to come.
Wow! Both projects came out beautifully. Is that framed piece in the bathroom with the towels? I just ask because it appears to match in color.
Nice job doing the whole lemons into lemonade thing ;)
What a wonderful way to stay grounded! I need to think of you next time I attempt socks. I have a lot of tubes lying around. : )
Great advice June! :)
Beautiful, really beautiful
thanks for visiting my blog the other day
What a beautiful way to remember one of life's bumps in the road. Your completed project is simply lovely.
I think this is such a beautiful thing that you've created, June. In more ways than just the one.
I can only imagine at the patience that it must take to create beautiful lace like that, and to think of you doing so, in the midst of such distress is inspiring.

Do I ever like what you've done by keeping your project under glass like that -- such a great idea. It's not only lace art but life art too.
