Have some cables with your lace! I love designs that incorporateboth twists and holes. The leaves in the bouquets are formed bylace stitches and are complemented by simple cable twists in thestems. Because this design features a large pattern motif, you canuse a slightly variegated yarn without obscuring the bouquets.
