I love seeing the juxtaposition of delicate lace stitches with rich, sublime saturated colours, and you do find whilst knitting that the yarn seems lighter in the knit than it does on the ball. Also, if you wear a lot of white or pale colours, the lace will go wonderfully with it.
Man, I wish I could do lace. I'll start off relatively okay, then hit row 22 and turn into an utter dyslexic because I get so utterly confused. I can read charts for cables and fair isle no problem, but with lace, I get all a twitter. And yet - I can't read line by line instructions of lace, my brain goes all tl;dr.

I think you should go dark
