Without further fuss, and in no particular order...
From Dawn
Yarn: Kaido Lame
Beads: Silver-lined
gold #8 Japanese seed beads
From Gala!
From Jean
I missed the instructions to
move the start of the first 39 or so rows one stitch to the right so I substituted YO/K2tog for
the double YO/double central decrease to make the start easier. It produced a lovely
flower,
Yarn: Classic Elite
Pirouette Color: Caribean Sea
Beads: #8 silver lined
seed beads
Blocked size 66 x 23
From Cynthia
I blocked it to the same measurements as yours, on a size 4
needle. The yarn was YarnArt Kid Mohair Transparent, Color 3. It’s
60% Kid Mohair and 40% Acrylic. I was terrified it would block
horribly. My fears were unjustified. It was wonderful.
From Sue
I used Iridaceae lace yarn, Iridae, in Emerald
US 4 needles
Emerald 8.0 beads
Did a garter stitch instead of ribbed borders
From Sheila
Yarn is Crystal
Palace Kid Merino, color, Ultra Blues, 6 skeins
Beads are dark
amber or root beer ABs 8/0 - chosen for their complimentary contrast to the
yarn.
I made a tapered
sleeve and added more beads to the corners and sleeve details.
From Mary Rose!
