Creative Experiment: shimmering lace edge adds texture to the Lotus Shrug

In yesterday’s post, I shared how I seamed the sleeves using a crochet slip stitch. I also discussed the lovely texture created by UNIVERSAL YARN Constellation.

Lace Details and Yarn Selections

Here, you can see the lace details beginning to emerge, showcasing the stunning UY Constellation in Hydra, paired with other yarns to enhance texture and depth.

I decided to switch to a different yarn for the lace pattern. I chose a silky edging to accentuate the shimmer in the Constellation yarn, specifically the colorway Hydra. The combination of the silky lime green and the Hydra creates a soft, radiant shimmer that beautifully enhances the lacework.

Embracing Creativity: Pairing Colors and Textures

I’ll admit, at first, I wasn’t entirely sure how the pairing would turn out. But as someone who enjoys creative experimentation, I decided to trust the process and give it a go. The pattern itself is worked in the round, which adds an extra layer of delicacy and elegance to the lace design.

Join me tomorrow, and I’ll reveal the final steps in completing the elegant Lotus Shrug!
