Hi, Jan,
I’ve conquered the counting of lace motifs. The birch leaves are charming, to me at least. It’s too bad they are on the opposite side of the work from the faces of the daisies in the daisy chain.
Sigh.
Love from your distracted sister,
Ellen
P.S. I’ve already planned the solve - it is NOT to frog back the leaves. I am going to wait until I’ve finished the piece, then will simply clip the wrap thread and pull it out, simultaneously adding a new one with needle and yarn. It’s actually a fairly simple construction so I’m confident this will work. It will also make sewing the seams seem less tedious in comparison.
Jan and Ellen are identical twins who have always had an innate fashion sense. Crafting is an integral part of their lives and they stay stitched together sharing their love of knitting, family and community.

Congrats to the winners in last post, and yes, the comments were very amusing throughout.
That’s really pretty lace you have there!

Thank goodness you’re so clever!
It looks lovely. I am looking forward to seeing it at the wedding!

Delicate and delightful! I love the way your engineer your knitting.

I’m always drawn to the leaf laces. It’s too bad they ended up backwards, but it sounds like you have an interesting fix. It’s always fun to play with the structure of knitting, though you’re extra brave to do it on lace.

Why is it never easy? This is why lace is so fun…
