Notes

Second test knit. (and very dodgily blocked).

The lace can be begin on any right side row, be repeated by itself as a continuous lace, or in bands alternating with plain sections.

Yardage - Used something under 200m of TWF ‘carmine’ colourway spun as 2 ply, dk ish weight, which unfortunately I forgot to measure more accurately.
Alternated with some Cascade Heritage Silk grey (under 100m/109y), and about 50m of Fyberspates Rural Charm in ‘Blackcurrant’ for the purple lace.

Size - 58 rows before starting lace, and 10 rows afterwards until beginning edging. Measures 170 x 45

Edging made a frisky little ruffle before I blocked the holes open.

Knit loosely on US sz 6 needles, and with two quite different size yarns hoping to create a crepey or seersucker effect with the handspun dominating over a thinner grey background.

For anyone interested in test knitting future patterns, please drop by my little group http://www.ravelry.com/groups/nimble-knits as I am currently holding frequent test-knitalongs, with no deadlines and knitters’ choice of yarn, size and colours.
