I showed my lace swatch to
undycat yesterday and she said she thought
the yarn would work for
Cherie Amour. Yay! It is nice sometimes to have a second opinion. So I will cast on for this as soon as I can find a spare moment.

The swatch has shrunk a little since blocking, mostly from handling, but I don't think that should affect the knitting too much. I don't want to go up another needle size because I like the way the swatch looks on this size. And I have more often been disappointed by things growing than shrinking.
Maybe the color is too 70s and I will look like I am wearing a macrame plant hanger, but oh well. I like this pattern , and I like the yarn, and I also like the idea of toning down the chunkiness with an open stitch pattern. I think cables + chunky yarn would just have been too dense and heavy.
