After I completed the lace chart the first time, I initially had difficulty understanding the following instruction: “Again work rows 1-28 of the Lace Chart and repeat the pattern between the bold lines on the chart.” I mistook this to mean that you repeated the pattern between the bold lines only once, but this will not get you to the end of the row. The next line in the instructions clarifies this somewhat: “Each time rows 1-28 are worked two repeats of the pattern outlined in bold are added.” So on the second time through the lace chart, there are 3 repeats of the pattern between the bold lines; on the third time through the lace chart, there are 5; and so on. I probably only struggled with this because it was my first lace project, but it’s worth noting that the instructions may seem ambiguous to some knitters.

Based on another knitter’s project photo, I had believed that the bind off edge was scalloped. This is not the case, however: the bind off mimics the edge treatment.

Things I Would Do Differently
Although the picture hanging wire I bought at the hardware store to use as blocking wire was cheap, I’m not certain it was worth the hassle of trying to thread it through the edges without snagging the yarn on rough ends. It might just be easier to use smooth string. More testing is needed.

Finished Measurements
Width: 35 inches
Drop: 28 inches

Technical Details
I used a ChiaoGoo RED Lace circular needle (32”). I wet-blocked the finished piece on 4 two-foot-by-two-foot foam tiles using 18 gauge aluminum picture hanging wire (purchased from the hardware store for less than $5) and nickel-plated steel ball-headed pins.
