Wow Lorelei, what size needles did you use? I am assuming you used gossamer weight lace yarn? The solid areas look really "fine" with no holes, so I am thinking very small gauge needles. All my Estonian knitting has been on size 2 or 3 needles which I find HUGE for light gossamer yarn. The solid areas are not so solid...But everyone said to use that gauge and everyone loves the results. I personally prefer to use 00 or 000 needles with very fine yarn. The result is uniform ground areas and the pattern pops without any confusion... (solid is solid...holes are holes) Yes, much longer to work and takes more yarn but the results are definitely worth it. (I have a few shawls I am working with very fine needles, but they are more of the Shetland school of design)
