Lace Scavenger Hunt

It is difficult to see why lace should be so expensive; it is mostly holes.
-Mary Wilson Little

This is a week when all the stars align and the gods are with me. The fabulous and successful launch of The Amazing Lace turns out to have heralded a week of lace. On that very day, my Fiddlesticks order came and Knitting Beyond the Hebrides began their Online Symposium on Lace. (Great resource - check it out.)

The symposium involves a photo scavenger hunt, and I thought it would get us all in the mood, so to speak, so I'm posting it here as well. I've tried whenever possible to post links to actual blogs (knitters in parentheses) rather than the pattern sites so you can have more fun surfing - Enjoy!
