I'm intending on making it for my MIL. I do have to say that I am being rather brave as this will be my first lacework but I do not have a deadline to get it done for. However, while at my knitting group last night I was discussing it with the ladies there and decided that if I can finish it in time I will enter it in the art/crafts competition in the Bingley show in August. I'm working on the principle that:
a) It gives me five months
b) It is only a 178 row pattern (please note I'm not counting the fact it will be a huge number of stitches by the time I get to the final row or the border).
c) It uses less than 4oz/100g of yarn so is another reason that it will be a quick knit.
It is going to be done in blue as MIL likes blue. I have cheated and asked Yvonne to have a nosey around when she is at Glasgow for me. I wonder if I should have tried to make it during the Olympics.
