L is for knit lace. At it's simplest, lace is nothing more than adding intentional holes in your knitting. Creating lace pieces is such a delight!! Initially the knit piece looks like a crumply mess, but once it is blocked - magic!! The lace opens up and becomes a beautiful thing!!
Here is an example of before and after blocking lace. This is Haruni and was my first "fancy" lace shawl that I knit for myself. I love it!!!
