Community Project - Lacy Valance

Thank you to Julie V. for allowing us to share her photo!  She'll be receiving a coupon for 10% off because she got the yarn from us.  If you would like to have your project featured (and get a coupon in gratitude), please read this post for all the juicy details. Julie used the one of Queensland Collection's new spring yarns - Tide.  She made a valance for her bathroom window by modifying this curtain pattern. Julie says that she was planning on knitting a whole panel, but the way the yarn was hanging, she thought a valance would work better.  She thinks she'll use her leftovers to make a scarf. Great job, Julie!  Your valance is absolutely lovely :)
