My mother has been complaining that I make her scratchy sweaters. So I endeavoured to make her the softest of garments: a lace cardigan. Lace yarn has to be spun so thinly that the fibers tend to face the same way, thereby being less scratchy. Also, it’s so sheer that the real risk lies more in her scratching the fabric.

But she loves it and that’s all that counts.

Y'all remember that lace safety vest that a cyclist was wearing a while back? Everyone sent it to me because #Lace .

I had no idea where it came from, but I loved it. Recently a vendor of them popped into my feed. I decided to try one to see if it was legit.

It's very nice. I'm not selling them, I'm not pushing them, I'm just saying if you like to lace in safety now you can....

I'm kind of impressed with the quality.

The fluorescent yellow "lace safety" vest. It is a pretty decent machine lace with netting in bright yellow. It has a yellow sturdy zipper in the front. It has reflective gray tape over the shoulders and in 2 bands along the midriff.

It looks super yellow inside my house laying flat on my ottoman. — The fluorescent yellow "lace safety" vest. It is a pretty decent machine lace with netting in bright yellow.

Me in the vest in front of a brick wall. It's slightly less fluorescent in the daylight but it's still a bright yellow.
