Pattern 356 - Flowers and leaves

Picture of lace

This is an experiment which didn't work! It was supposed to have flowers with half stitch petals, but no... I put all my patterns on this website, whether they work or not, because we can learn from our mistakes. Anyway, someone may like the effect!

Pattern:
   Pattern of lace

Bobbins: 14 pairs

   half stitch and twist
   half stitch
   picot

Details:
   Bucks Point net (grey)
   honeycomb (grey)

Description:

Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.

This is surprisingly hard to work! The top three petals of each flower (and bottom three bottom petals as well) are all connected, so have to be worked at the same time. I found it tricky to remember which were the worker pair for each petal.
