Lace from a vintage Italian shawl pattern. I know I am creating a rather large pattern, here, but it is increasing dramatically as it goes along and I haven't found the repeat yet. I will be editing this over time. A few notes: on the WS of the work, all double yo's are P1,K1. This is not reflected in the instructions, yet. Also, for the left cable crosses (1/1 LC), I knit them as K1 in the 2nd st, going behind the 1st st, then knit the 1st st and move both sts onto the rt hand needle. Easier than using a cable needle.
