Experienced Lace Skills -
-
Work on both sides.
-
Unusual stitch executions, mirrored twists and twisted dec’s = both left and right twisted stitches. (a standard ktbl twists left - twist direction identified by forward leg).
-
Unusual construction/shaping (worked bottom up with motif/ increases)
Yes. Work is fiddly at first but if you’ve done things like working the WS of ssk (s, s, p2tog tbl) it’s pretty straight forward. And once you get a few reps in, transitions and spacings are very intuitive.
Pointy needles recommended.
