I’m wanting to do a sweater called Just Breathe by universal yarns its baised on your horseshoe lace. Other horseshoe lace patterns are different than this pattern. My question is why is there no other samples of horseshoe lace done this way I’d love to see a demo of this lace pattern as i cant seem to get the hang of it. Joanna
Joanna- The traditional horseshoe lace, which is probably what your pattern calls for, is a Shetland Island pattern and well known. You should be able to find it in any book on Shetland lace. Also I would try the Ravelry site- you might be able to search the patterns, but also there is a forum where you could ask questions and someone could point you to a source.
