Solid square = Knit
Open square with horizontal line = Purl
Open circle = YO
Solid diamond – twisted knit
Right leaning triangle = K2tog
Left leaning triangle = SSK
3 on top of a V = knit 3 together
7 = K1, pass next 6 stitches over (see YouTube video above)
Black upside down U = purl 3 together
Outlined upside down U = Slip one, Knit, PSSO, pass stitch back to left needle, pass next stitch over, pass stitch back over to right needle. Hopefully that makes sense – essentially, you’ve got three stitches, you knit the one in the middle, and pass the ones on either side over (this is what I did, not sure if it’s right, but it seems to work, so I’m sticking with it)
Right leaning triangle with 4 = not there yet, but I’m assuming it’s K4tog

And hopefully, this isn’t too much blather on your page, but I’m new to lace (this is only my 3rd project), and this is what I’ve learned (much of it since working on this panel which I’m about half way through). Hopefully it will help others.

– patience!
– not to be afraid to rip out
– stitch markers are your friend, even if the pattern doesn’t call for them
– count your stitches every row
– how to correct mistakes without ripping out entire rows
– how to correct dropped stitches even if they go several rows down
– how to drop just a few stitches several rows deep to correct a mistake
– how to read a chart that doesn’t correspond one-to-one with each column (simpler charts do this)
– several new stitches, one of which I winged since I couldn’t quite figure out the translation but which is *probably* right since it looks right
– how to put down your knitting even in the middle of the row when you’re frustrated with correcting a mistake – chances are you’ll figure it out a lot quicker once you’ve had some time to quiet your brain

And lastly, if you’re purchasing any kind of lace that is hand-made, if you’re not paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for it, the craftsperson is probably not being paid enough! Seriously, this is time-consuming stuff!

Thank you so much for the work you’ve put into this site!!!!
