Projekt 52

Yarn: Blue Sky Alpaka Silk #126 (Brick) Pattern #47: Ladder Rib (en) Another very pretty eyelet and rib stitch. Pattern #48: Extended Open-Work Stitch (en) This is a surpsrisingly easy and yet striking stitch. The only difficult part is not letting the long stitches fall off your needles.
