There is a particular one, Stonewall that I have been coveting for a very, very, very long time. A yarn came into the LYS and I grabbed a ball to swatch it out and here's the result of that:
Keep in mind, that's KBLicious blocked, otherwise known as badly blocked, but you get the idea.
I have received at least one disapproving frown regarding the unisex-ness of this pattern. Really, I don't care. In all honesty, I love the pattern, like the yarn enough, Anne's David certainly did a gorgeous job modeling it, I agree with Anne that it has a unisex appeal, and I'm probably going to make it anyway, but a question to any of my dear readers that might still exist (sorry again I'm a fail blogger,) what constitutes "man lace" in your mind?

I think that "man lace" is unisex lace. But really, what year are we, and who cares what others think is or isn't appropriate for a man? What counts is that you like it and you're comfortable in it. Keep knitting :)
Some of the most beautiful lace in the world is created by men. Eugene Beugler. Herbert Niebling.
And now you.
Thank you both!!! Well put, I do like it and like knitting it, so who cares! And, Sungopolis, you flatter me so!!!! Thank you! :)
