This is a wonderful episode. Thank you for having the brilliant lace knitter Monique Boonstra! She is so knowledgeable and so fun to listen to. I hope there will be more 💕🧶
This was very informative. I’ve never used a lifeline. I use ChiaoGoo red lace interchangeable needles, so I should be able to do it! I’ll have to find a good demo video, or, if you feel like it, perhaps you can do a short video demo😉
Very helpful thanks. I will definitely be rewatching this before casting on. Just got shipping notification for my yarn. Now I have to learn the pronunciation of minogame all over again😂😂I was pronouncing it wrong, started using your pronunciation Irina, and now need to remember Monique’s pronunciation.
BTW, I just spent the entire morning on my iPad, sourcing out a suitable lace weight yarn for this project. I always try to patronize my LYSs, but I guess it’s not practical for them to stock a “niche” yarn…they do have plenty of fluffy mohair lace, which is super popular for garments etc. I’m in Canada and finally settled on a lovely Holst lace yarn, 80% alpaca, 20% wool if I remember correctly…my head is going in circles from all the tabs I opened! Looking forward to the KAL.
Hello from St. Louis Missouri! I love lace knitting I think it’s so beautiful and delicate.
Yeah, me too

Oh, we haven’t even started yet 😂
This was a wonderful interview with Monique! So inspiring and informative. Thank you Irina!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to hear the designer. Thanks Irina.
Once again great questions and also great answers. I got convinced to swatch. 😉
Me too 😂
Great video. Monique is one of my knitting heroes; I agree that her talent for reading patterns on historic lace is extraordinary. Thank you!
Glad you liked it

A demo would be most helpful. I've Chiagoo needles too but have yet to figure out how to use it to put in a lifeline.
Thanks, Irina for this episode. Monique is great and her tips were very helpful. I love listening to her.
We spent half a day chatting:)
@@Fiberchats Well, that would be half a day well spent 😊
Thank you for sharing, just waiting for my lace yarn to arrive so I can start. ❤❤
Hope it will get to you soon
