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?
