This adventure started out with a book in a language I don’t read or speak. There is a diagram for this pattern that looks complete. But as I studied it, the math didn’t work. The diagram shows the beads nestled between the rings. There’s not enough DS in the rings for that. I worked it without beads. (No picture as I was using bits from shuttles and the colors don’t play nice.) So far, so good. The size thread and beads recommended didn’t make sense, but I went with my equivalent anyway. As I feared, the beads pop up to sit on top of the negative space. Not a bad piece of lace, just not what the diagram showed.
Now to work the
outer round. This is shown poking through the space between chains and rings
for a faux celtic style arrangement. Perhaps this will work also….although my hunch is no.
