Nice pattern, very straight forward. I am doing the border in stockinette, and I’m considering an alternate edging.
Using an unnamed laceweight alpaca purchased from Gemini fibers at the KW Knitter’s Fair in 2014. The ball never seems to diminish.

I’m on row 34 of chart B in the pic. Rounds are getting long…

Finally, I have started the edging! While I was off work, recuperating from surgery, I knit on this so hard I developed a blood blister under the skin just above the second joint on my right index finger. Weird.
Anyhow, rather than work the short rows the pattern calls for, I am knitting into the corner stitches multiple times like this:
- 2 stitches from corner’s Center, knit in it twice
- 1 stitch from corner’s Center, knit in it three times
- at corner Center, knit in it four times
- 1 stitch from corner’s Center, knit in it three times
- 2 stitches from corner’s Center, knit in it twice

It took almost a month just to complete the edging. It went faster once I memorized the lace repeat. It also didn’t help when Cooper played with my ball of yarn. He’s just darned lucky he didn’t touch my knitting!
