janestarzAfter two false starts because of losing a few stitches I decided to start working with lifelines. I've hardly ever needed it, but then this is one of the more intricate laces I've got my hands on so far. And yet it is not so difficult that I want to throw in the towel.
After a start on needles 3.5 I soon switched down to needles 3 mm and up to the largest size of the pattern. All is well now, I'm already 3/4 of the way there, and with two lifelines and a bit longer cable it is going smoothly and is ready for a quick fitting!
And look how prettily it sits right there. No pulling, no problems, no need for blocking! I am quite happy with that.
In fact, happy enough to probably not switch back to needles 3.5 mm when the lace part is done. I can get away with lots of fittings, right? RIGHT?
