Notes

yield: 43g - 370m on 4mm
dimensions: 30” width x 13 1/2” height unblocked
dimensions: 34” width x 16” height blocked

5/12/10: Blocked beautifully although it seems quite fragile!

26/10/10: Completed in a little more than a month. I am very glad! I used the Estonian K2tog bind off from Knitting Estonian Lace. I had barely 3g of yarn left when I finished. Pfew!

24/09/10: I wanted to cast this one for a long time but I was pondering between black, orchid, or molly. I finally opted for orchid, but I had a hard time winding it from skein to ball for it seems the yarn had started to felt. I dunno what happened there but it really gave me a scare and a nasty splice.


specs as per Leonie1: according to pattern with no variation - 470m on 4mm (with +/- 9gr leftovers)

variation idea: as per tippwutz in zauberball with yo instead of M1 - garter sitch for last 5 rows + jeny’s surprisingly stretchy bind-off.
yield: 110x47cm with leftovers
