This is a terrific first lace project because after establishing the pattern, you essentially keep working longer versions of the same two rows. Jill leads you through a practice swatch so you get the hang of the pattern before launching into the final project. And she gives you a trick in case you get lost counting the rows. This lacy "little something" could easily grow into a giant cozy shawl if you're feeling ambitious!
