I hope there are some knitters who are visiting and will voice their opinion here.
I am fairly new to lace knitting and I always have a time deciding what size needle to use for lace. I started swallowtail with a heavier yarn then called for and a #6 I think and now I think I should have gone down a needle size or 2??? How do you decide? Is it just a matter of personal taste, or should lace look a certain way? Are there hard and fast rules for lace work?
This is a scarf I started and now it just sits because I can't decide to go on or rip it out and begin again with smaller needles. The yarn is Schaffer Anne to give you a reference. What size needle do you use for Anne?
Myself is thinking that since there is a question in my mind that in itself is enough. I should really rip it and go for a 2 or 3 needle. The part that really bothers me are the stitches within the medallion seem too large.
