Notes

I added size 6 glass beads, clear/AB coating, on the stitch between each pair of KPK in 1 st (each flower). Each repeat requires 24 beads.

To k7tog, I knit 1, pass the stitch to the left needle then pass the remaining 6 stitches over 1 at a time. MUCH better than trying to knit 7 tog!

On repeat 10. Blocked about half to get an igea of the finished size. Will likely do 12 repeats, sigh! I know, that’s what I get for using size 3 needles, but I like how Heliotaxis came out and that was the same yarn, which suggests size three, so there you have it.

Did 11 repeats. Blocked size 17” x 60”.

I’m happy with my decision to use size 3 needles. The more I knit lace,the more I like the crisp definition and contrast of the dense areas of stockinette that smaller needles create.
