Lacy Update

Progress so far?



I'm quite pleased. It's so delicate and the pattern is easy to follow. The only difficult is YO-ing the yarn in the right direction. YO-ing purl-wise is fine, but the brain is struggling with knit-wise. I'm having to do a lot of unhitching and twisting when I knit the following rows.

If you put the YO onto the needle the wrong way round, then can't you just knit it off by sticking the needle in from the other side? It would save a lot of twisting and unhitching, if I understand what you mean.
I knit continental so I suppose it's easier to put the yarn in the right place and then just knit off the stitch as needed, regardless of how it is mounted.
If I stated the completely obvious and missed the point, then please just ignore my comment.
