Notes

So much easier the second time through. The first time I knit this I was very new to lace and found it really difficult. This time it flew by.

Like many others, to do my nupps I slipped three purl wise, purled two together, the passed the three slipped stitches over the p2tog. Worked like a charm. WAY less frustrating than purl 5 together.

The Rastita is AMAZING! It’s so soft and blocked with almost no effort. Also since it’s slightly felted it doesn’t fuzz and stick as badly as most single ply yarns do. I could knit with it forever.
