It's NOT a silly question. In the case of most Kortelahti patterns, it doesn't make any difference. Even the presentation of patterns in her books is not consistent. Some are printed right, and some left. Do it whichever way seems most comfortable to you. Or the way it shows in the book for that pattern. Your chosen pattern (Faith - Hope - Love) is a straight lace that flows nicely either direction.
Left or right can be important if the lace is made with gimp. Some gimp maneuvers are not reversible. Previously on this List, people have met up with patterns that would not work until they reversed the pattern, but it doesn't happen very often.

My question: I don't remember if I should have the footside on the right or the left and I can't tell if it really matters with this lace. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
