Notes

The edge is scalloped because this is all the pins I actually own!

I’m not a keen lace knitter, mostly stick to pretty simple lace stitches and this is not something I would normally choose to do, but wanted to do it to show (after being told that I would “make the stitches wrong”…) that left-handed mirror knitters can knit lace, any lace we want, and just as nicely as anyone else.

Just referred to the written instructions to see how many stitches to decrease for the relevant symbol, then created the decreases to lean the way they are shown in the chart - which meant swapping them. I read charts from left to right. For combi, I reorientated the stitch mounts when slipping, wrapped the YO to make it work with the purl, and knit through the front loop on the garter border.
