Notes

Testing a new pattern by Mindy Wilkes.
To be released in early May.

25 Apr 2012: Cast on. It was slow at first as I was knitting alternate repeats from the written instruction and the chart. No errors there! Once I memorized the 6-row chart, it was smooth sailing. Managed to knit 19 repeats in one evening. I planned to knit 25 repeats only as my yarn has less yardage than what Mindy is using.

2 May 2012: Kinda set it aside for a bit (MadMay got me hooked!) but picked it up again and decided on 24 increase sections then 1 straight section. Started the decrease section this morning. Hope to finish it by tomorrow and block and post FO photos on Saturday.

5 May 2012: Done! 50 lace repeats in total. Looks a bit small but should get bigger after blocking. Size on the blocking mat is 44 inches from end to end and 11 inches on the midpoint.

Loved every minute of it!
