New Website and New Blog are Live

Announcing the new website for Nadine McLeod Designs that launched earlier today!

I wanted to update the look and feel of the new website that now includes eCommerce. Check out the very cool Knitting Bags that are available for sale to hold your knitting projects (they can also be used as an overnight bag). I'm working on an exciting new product that will be coming out later this year. Stay tuned for more details...

I also moved the blog to a new hosting site earlier this month and love the new and layout. Please feel free to sign up to follow by email.

FISHTAIL LACE

Fishtail Lace is a traditional vertical lace stitch pattern.  This popular pattern that is widely used creates a lace pattern that resembles fishtails with lovely rounded-points at the case-on edge. The pattern has a simple repetition of 8-stitches by 6-rows.
