What was your inspiration?

The yarn with its sparkles just called for an elegent item.

What are you most proud of?

I like how the lace pattern changes half way up by just adding a purl row between lace rows.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The photo may be hard to see when its printed out because of the silver threads and the brightness of the blue.
I will be posting a red version with no sparkles for a clearer detail of the lace.
This pattern does take focus when working the first lace part.
