Notes

Made heaps of mistakes with this, not because it was too difficult a pattern, more because I kept pushing on to do a bit more when I was tired with the inevitable disasters ensuing. I just kept pressing on so this won’t be next year’s show entry but I must be more careful in future.

The yarn is lovely with a subtle variation which doesn’t show in the photos. First time I have actually blocked a lace project properly and was certainly worth the effort (thank you Lincraft for having 30% off this weekend so I could buy alphabet foam squares more cheaply).

Highly commended at the Royal Easter Show 2015.

Highly commended Newcastle Show 2016.
