I think this piece looks lovely and I love your comments, you like the way
it looks, always a good time to leave well alone.
Also you will be more exigent with yourself for a more formal piece. that
is never a bad thing, improving or redoing sometimes to get it the best you
can without being too hard on yourself.
This is something we do for pleasure after all, but when given as gifts we
want to show our art/craft off the best we can.
Well done and thank you for sharing with us.

Well, I finished my first big piece of Cantù. There are plenty of
mistakes,
The biggest error, of course is the "about face" in the direction of some
of
the threads and the strange gaping stitches in the large section of mezzo
punto. I discovered my error pretty close to the time of doing it, but
decided to keep working from that point on to see what it would give. The
result is a very imperfect lace, of course, but I liked the way it looks.
I
felt that it added a dimension of potential movement (if that makes any
sense at all), so I left it.
For a similar reason, I left the irregularities in the punto mimosa; I
like
the way the irregularities contribute to the feeling of the piece.

I've started on a little Cantù insert for a display tray for a wedding
gift.
That is a very formalized design, so I will be more exigent with myself on
execution.
