Notes

The first one was so gorgeous, and I gifted it. Need another one for myself, urgently :-)

Smaller needles for the body in the cobweb yarn, the edging lace will be done in the mulberry silk yarn.

65 stitches and 256 rows

Picking up 208 stitches on the long sides, 48 on the short ones

Picking up the stitches is a major PitA in cobweb yarn. Takes hours. ;-)
