For this assignment, you need to knit something with a lace pattern. The what is left up to you, based on what sort of item you want to make. To get you started on ideas, I've included a few suggestions below; if you've got a different idea, though, or just need help finding something you like, send us an email for approval or advice.

Suggestions

• Candleflame Shawl, a gorgeous pattern designed for lace-weight yarn, that can be made as a scarf or a shawl;
• Cathedral Purse, a rather pretty bag that can be used for a purse, a small project bag, or even a gift;
• Foliage is a nice, autumny lacy hat pattern;
• Liesel, "an easy lace scarf that can be knit in less than a day, and is a great stashbuster for those single skeins";
• Montavilla Market Tote is a gorgeous and eco-friendly bag for grocery and produce shopping;
• Winter Flame Scarf, "an uncomplicated yet elegant design for a wonderfully stylish scarf";
• Ravelry's search for free lace patterns, for which you need to be logged into Ravelry to view the results.
