Notes

Using Mill Hill Amethyst Ice #6 beads, they look like dew drops on the lace.

Starting with 118 grams
Stocking Stitch Body - 187 stitches (88 gr. left, 30 gr. used)
First Lace Section - (70 gr. left, 18 gr. used)
Second Lace Section - (48 gr. left, 22 gr. used)
Lace Border - (4 gr. left, 44 used)

Finished the last row with only 4 gr. left. Checked with Bev and she said that was a no go for binding off. Will use Sundara’s Lace Silky Merino doubled in Candied Violets to BO. The picot binding will really eat up some yarn. Hopefully no one will notice the change in yarn. (Used 60 yds doubled to BO, 30 yds of a single strand)

I made this for a very dear friend who changed my life 30 years ago. Towards the end I was hoping she wouldn’t like it because I really did and it would have made itself at home in my wardrobe effortlessly. But, alas, she wrote that she loved it.
