Another Lace FO

Yes I finished the lace. Sorry I'm so bad at blogging. You all knew I was doomed. A couple days of post back to back is a sure sign that there will be a lapse hehe. Anyways...

The lace is finished and its gorgeous. A lot of compliments on it already and I've not even worn it anywhere. A gorgeous design with gorgeous yarn always makes for fun knitting time. The project went pretty quickly too.

the only mod I made was changing the gauge to try to compensate for having less yarn than required. It worked as I didn't run out of yarn. :)

If I were to knit it again however, I would bind off the garter stitch section before continuing along to the next stage. The entire leaving them live just barely makes sense. I actually think it causes more issues than it solves. It was a great knit tho. very lovely.
