The first part of the class was deciding which of three ways to do Bird's Eye, we each get along with. And yes, there are four sections on my sample. The bottom section has an error consistently through out. So, let's just pretend it didn't happen.The top section is part of what is used for the Curved Shawl in Victorian Lace Today. I found a nice rhythm to it. The intermediate rating is works for me. Others do differ with that rating.
The second section down, is out of Heirloom Lace. It has a nice symmetry to it and is a touch harder on my hands because of purling through back loops. This is to control the stitch slant.
The third section is the teacher's adaption of the pattern. It has a biological type of symmetry. If my memory services me, I think is called bilateral symmetry. If I am wrong, I am sure someone will let me know. It sort of mirrors around the center of the eye.
Appearance wise, the household vote is for the top one. So, spider shawl it is.
