Learning to Lace

I have wanted to knit a shawl in lace since I first started knitting, well after socks, of course.  I have seen some spectacular shawls in magazines and on Ravelry.  So I saw some lace weight yarn that wasn't too expensive the other day and thought I'd give it a go.  I have just the top part started, eventually the lacey part begins.  I hope I don't mess it up.  Better make sure I use those life-lines that I learned with my scarf!!

Here's the new socks too:

Keeping busy, just like I like it!
