lace-knitting

I have been knitting ever since I can remember. I started with simple sweaters, continued with some more complicated patterns and had a friend with a woolshop, who asked me to do the more complicated stuff, like Entrelac with pure silk. I stopped for some years, forgot that I had knitting needles but found my way back last year with beautiful Mohair from South-Africa. Never wondered what my skills were and what difficulties I could handle.
So I decided, laying my hands on some gorgeously dyed yarn, mohair & merino in lace quality, to start with lace-knitting and see if I could get there.
This was my yarn:
I discovered a nice Ravelry pattern, see

I adjusted the pattern line, in order to play with the yarns and have some symetry

And this is my result
