After the disastrous Bad Bolero from hell, I decided to ease the pain by knitting something restful and relatively easy. I've not knitted anything lacy before but this rib was very easy. I used Debbie Bliss Prima, which is a deliciously smooth bamboo/wool mix, really lovely to knit with. I think it's still available, though I bought a ten-pack at a John Lewis sale in January.
The pattern is as follows:
Multiple of 4 sts plus 1 (I used 25 sts)
Row 1 (RS) *P1, k3; rep from * to last st, p1
Row 2 K1, *pi, yo, p2tog, k1; rep from *
Row 3 As row 1
Row 4 Knit

It was easy to get into a rhythm with this pattern, particularly since I used stitch markers.
I used about 2 to 3 balls and it's very long but looks fab! At last something that isn't BAD knitting!!

The final product! |
Sorry - my bad typing! Row 2 should read: "k1, p1 ..." (not pi)
