Men Who Knit Promoting and inspiring the art of knitting amongst men.

I was so encouraged my my recent success at following a pattern that I decided to revisit a pattern that had previously eluded me and I'm proud to show you the project, the Double Eyelet Heart Dishcloth:

Again, I can't say that I didn't make any mistakes, but I didn't leave any behind and I only had to unravel 3 rows.  

My mom once told me about seeing a very fine lace shawl, so lightweight that the sales lady was able to draw it through one of her rings.  Has anyone made something like this?  Do you know of any good patterns?  I was thinking it would make a nice birthday gift.
