		Lace knitting is wonderfully flexible in terms of yarn weight, since a precise fit is rarely required - the exact same circular shawl pattern could be rendered in fingering wool on large needles for a large wrap, or in gossamer weight yarn and tiny needles for a doily.
		For me, the single most important factor when choosing a lace needle is the sharpness and taper of the tip.
		Swatching for lace is easy - use an invisible caston, knit a couple rows in garter stitch, work a repeat or two of the motif with a two or three stitch frame of garter stitch on either side, and finish with one or two more rows of garter stitch.

		I usually match my thread to my fabric for these laces, but a variegated thread would look attractive if it were a heaver thread, say at least 40-weight, because with a variegated thread you probably would not want to use two threads--it might spoil the effect.
