Bells for the Bells?

Here's one of my recently completed projects.

His favorite color is blue, and bells have a rather sentimental ring in our house *grins*  so, I thought Bell Lace in blue yarn would be pretty appropriate.

The bells are kind of hard to see, because acrylic yarn doesn't really block.  It will relax with use, though, and the bells will become more visible.

Abbreviations:  CO = Cast On, K2tog = Knit 2 Together, sl 1 = Slip one stitch purlwise, psso = Pass Slipped Stitch Over, YO = yarn over
