so sitting on the couch this am, thinking about the clue coming out, working on my Mandala blanket (the orange one), and I got to thinking

....this is ALWAYS dangerous.
broomstick lace. overlapping rows, really long loops. worked in the round. will look like a succession of interlocking petals.
i spent the next 90 minutes (with a 5 yr old nagging me and work sitting there undone) with 2 different colors, trying to put what was in my head into yarn. So far I have ideas, but it's not QUITE what I had in mind. If i pull it off, it will be SUCH an awesome pattern....hard as all heck, but it'll be gorgeous.
anyway, just had to share that with you. If i can get it to work, i'll post a picture. Of course, I have 4 other "patterns" that came to me in my head right now,

so I'll see when I get to it.
