Notes

Going for the all lace version this time around. Beads are 6/0 Matte silver lined crystal Tohos. I’ve had this project set bundled together and waiting to be knit for awhile. Pretty excited to finally be getting to it!

Two repeats of Chart C down, at least two more to go, probably three. Really surprised how quickly I’m moving through it. Then again, it is my third time through this pattern. I knew I couldn’t go wrong pairing my favorite colorway with my favorite pattern! :)

About halfway through the 4th repeat now. Whew these rows sure feel longer. I know it will grow with blocking, so I’m going to move on to Chart D after this repeat. Continuing along one needle size down from the recommended (#5 until switching to #6 at the end of Chart D and then back to #5 for picot bind off).

Whew! I went marathon style and finished off the last couple rows and bind off tonight. Forgot to go up a needle size so just ended up doing the whole thing on a size #5. I’m super pleased with how fast this project went, especially for all-over-lace, but the pattern is pretty intuitive and it is my third go around with it. Gave it a soak and pinned out, glamour shots sometime tomorrow. :)
