Notes

This was such an enjoyable project! I opted for the crazy lace variety, and substituted in various lace patterns instead of the plain stockinette. I wasn’t precise about stitch counts, and just adjusted my stitches so it worked out:) I also did an extra repeat in order to make this a little longer. The lace patterns I chose were:

1: Gull Wings
2: Horseshoe Lace
3: Miniature Leaf
4: Birds Eye Lace
5: Trellis Diamond (a 12-row pattern)
6: The border from the Cognoscenti shawl pattern (I just wasn’t feeling ruffly, and opted for something I could pull out. I placed beads on the yarn-overs)

Then, knit 2 rows, 1 row eyelet, knit on WS, then BO on RS.

The yarn was fantastic! It was a double evolution dyed specifically for the Citron pattern, and the progression of the colors was stupendous!! Initially I was unsure about the rust color at the start, but it really sets off the following colors!! It seems I neglected to weigh the initial skein, but I was left with only 2 Gm at the finish;)

Off the board it blocked to:
23” deep
44” side-to-side
