Notes

This yarn has the most amazing hand and is just wonderful to knit with. The gradient transitions are subtle, with long repeats. I want to own them all, even colors I don’t usually like!

The pattern is quite well-written. I’m having some problems only because I haven’t done a lot of double-sided, or “true” lace, although the leaf portions aren’t hard to see develop.

As some others did, I counted knit or purl stitches at the beginning of each chart and marked any that were 5 or above, to save time when knitting.

Pre-blocked: 5’5” by 9”
After: 8’2” by 16”

Chart A: worked four times; stitch markers at the repeats.

Chart B: one repeat (as written). I brought the stitch markers up and marked the chart to delineate at the same number of stitches as Chart A, even though they aren’t shown on the chart. They do move to allow for the fluidity of the pattern.

76.9g left after this chart.

Chart C: brought markers up, but also added (and marked on chart) markers between them so that at the start of the chart I had a marker every 12 stitches. The center portion isn’t as obvious as the leaves, so counting and finding any errors every dozen stitches is quite helpful.
