i had a moment of insanity & bought 4 skeins of Orenburg
laceweight (80% kidd mohair 20% silk), 2 are natural & 2 are
handpaint in pale green, tan, grey, pale blue (the Cherry tree
Hill Spring Frost colorway). the natural is 500 yards/50 grams
& the Spring Frost is 600 yards/50grams.
i'm fairly competent, & not afraid of a challange, but i'm
also a "combination" knitter (i normally knit through the back
loop). while i can knit "properly" it tends to require more
concentration than i can generally spare.
i'm looking for patterns, preferably free, to use this stuff
to it's best adavantage. i like shawls, but will entertain
other ideas.
thanks,
lee

There is one in PDF format that specifically mentions Orenburg Lace at:
http://www.fiberholics.com/lace.html
or a complete page of links to all sorts of lace patterns at:
http://media.wendyknits.net/knit/freelace.htm
While there are various books to buy on Orenburg there don't seem to be
many free patterns.
