Made for: My beautiful sister, Cara

Modifications: This project has you knit two of the lace patterns then graft them together. Instead of doing that I just knit the pattern until it was long enough. A reason I could give for this is that I wanted to be sure I got it done with enough time to send it off..but honestly, doing it the original way just sounded like way too much of a hassle and I'm not that fantastic at grafting yet. I also decided not to block this.
Make this pattern again? Yes, I'd like to try this pattern the original way because I think it looks lovely the way it was designed and the shortcut way I did it.
Final thoughts/ recommendations: This was a very fun project and a super fast knit! Great for last minute gifts!
What I learned/practiced in this pattern: Reading lace charts.
Love,
LeeAnn
