hmmm.there was a theme in my birthday present yarn too, all shades of purple and red:
i should expand my repertoire, but really, why? they're so pretty - see:
the problem with this tho is that i am not entirely sure that cambria is working out how she is supposed to.... note to self, dont try and knit late at night when tired. i kept losing track of where i was. i think im going to frog it cos im pretty sure its not right....sigh

Great idea for a post! Love your red bag and contents!!!
I don't know about Cambria, it looks good to me, but lace can be quite deceiving I think when unblocked.
See? I KNEW you loved red!
(besides, it's in your rav profile ...)
Happy ahppy happy birthday.
Welcome to 40 - glad you've come to share the 40s with me!
Try what Dianne suggested the other day - can't remember where, maybe a comment somewhere. Knit up just a few repeats of the pattern to get a feel for it before committing to the whole beast! bluestocking5 has a good closeup of the pattern on her rav pictures too, if that helps. Is the pattern graphed or text? Make your own graph if it isn't. That also helps.
What a yummy colour!
yeah I'm with Michelle - it's in the Rav profile. I went looking to confirm my suspicions about red and discovered the purple fetish at the same time.
Stick with Cambria for a bit. Or not. I'm all for giving up on lace that's not doing it for you. It's too much trouble to persist with something that's not making your heart sing.
