Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
This grid has both vertical waves (top to bottom) and horizontal waves (left to right).
The cloth stitch triangles' distorted shape comes from the variable grid. The triangles were laid on the grid to produce this symmetrical effect. If you set them off-centre then you would get other effects. I chose this because when experimenting with shapes I found that this design produced an interesting ellipse or even circular shape rather than the expected diamonds. The middle of the ellipse is Torchon ground. I wanted to make it as simple as possible to show off the effects of the grid.
