But despite the cold my mind is still on lace. I have completed another 20 rows of my AMS. Now that might not sound much to you, and I can't really see the progress, BUT every row contains over 500 stitches at this stage so I figure its not bad going.
And for more instant gratification I have started a pair of rib and lace socks. I'm using Cleckheaton Bamboo for these. I love the soft silky feel of this yarn. Its a bit of an experiment because I have no idea how well the yarn will wear. I'm unable to link this pattern because it is one I tore out of Creative Knitting quite sometime ago. I was going through a cleaning up spree and tried to declutter. Never made a note of the issues when I ripped the patterns out. Live and learn.
Now I have been tagged by Cathy. I’m to comment about the last ten persons who leave a note on my blog. If you’re mentioned below, consider yourself tagged.

Hey look at that I am famous! I think I can play with this one. I will enjoy going through the other blogs you've listed.
It's so cold here too. It's crazy to think we turned on the air con two weeks ago and now we are back to the heater!
looks like you guys are having the same weather as us - more rain is on the way :(
thanks for the tag :) we love hearing and reading what you are up to too :)
I'll pop a post up shortly.
love them socks - wish you had a pattern link :(
Hehehe .... thanks for the tag and the kind words :) Sorry to hear about the storms
Aww thanks!
You know, those socks look seriously identical to the ones I'm knitting, which are called Go With the Flow and are from Interweave knits. THE SAME! I must show you a photo. Different cuff, but the same stitch. How odd.
20 rows of lace with that many stitches is great progress!
Thanks for the tag. I really enjoy reading your blog.
Great job on the socks.
