That is, to try it out and make some observations about the shape, support and coverage I will need prior to making my own lacis partlet 100% by my own hands.
You guessed it, I found some lacis pieces on e-bay. Ten of them, in fact, and each about 8 3/4" square.
They came in the mail yesterday and while they make my own poor attempts at lacis look like great hulking lumpish things in comparison (I'm going to have to look into getting a smaller gauge and some finer thread) I'm excited to skip past the 'making the lacis' stage and get right down to making a partlet so I can experiment with the 'how in the world does this work!?!' part.
Now I just have to figure out how I want to assemble them....
and then get up enough courage to wear it!
