how to work wiggly lace
Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
This is a very simple pattern. However, the design came out more interesting than I'd expected. You can make a conventional straight piece of lace with fan headsides on both sides and nothing in between, with one side half stitch and the other cloth stitch, but you still feel that half the lace (lengthways) is cloth stitch, and the other, half stitch - see pattern 7 (picture below).
In this wiggly version, the two stitches are very clearly alternated. What's more, the fans face different directions, which add to the effect.
Look closely at the photo at the top, and you will see that I have made my usual mistake in one of the half stitch fans!
