This is an experiment about cathedral spiders. I am not sure whether it worked or not..
Pattern:
Bobbins: 16 pairs (4 pairs dark red, rest pink)
Style: Torchon (experimental)
Stitches:
half stitch
cloth stitch
cloth stitch and twist
Details:
Upper alternative cathedral spider (green)
Lower alternative cathedral spider (green)
cloth diamond (red)
Torchon ground (yellow)
single twisted footside (grey)
Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
The holes are the alternative cathedral spider. Ordinary cathedral spiders are half a normal spider, but alterntives work each pair across the other pairs on that side as well. I'm not sure that I've done it right!
Here is a larger scale photo, to see the working:
