If anyone has suggestions as to how to alleviate binding, please let me know. I did read about going up a size in needles, but It's one section and I'm thinking going up to US1 with #30 thread probably isn't the best.
Any ideas? I'll go post on Nieblinglace group too. Maybe they've got some insights.
Specs:
thread: Cebelia #30 in ecru : 80 grams (that would be 1 3/5 balls)
needle: KP Harmony dpns and Inox circs in US0
started: 1-10-08
end: 1-30-08
mods: omitted the outer section and edging. Added a couple of extra hex mesh rows and used a k2-yo-k2 edging. The next row was k, the subsequent pattern rows (3) were k,k2tog,yo,k2. Finished off with a k row and crochet bind off using 10 sc w/ 5 stitches.
Other than the binding, I didn't have any problems with the pattern at all. It's pretty, but guess what it reminds me of...yep, filigree. here's a picture of filigree:Is there a pattern I can do that won't remind me of another?

I haven't experienced binding yet, because I knit with stretchy lace wool. I am sure I will run into this problem at some point.
As for resemblance, I guess this is one problem with Nieblings. They do all start to look close relatives after a while. Seen that flower before, yes I have...
With cotten thread, I don't see how you could have avoided that binding. I guess going up one needle size at that point might have helped, but I don't know if the outside tier would look as lovely in a larger gauge. Using a yarn with some give would help. Binding or not, it is beautiful.
Anemone is gorgeous! I do see the resemblance to Filigree though. I do hope you find a solution to the binding problem!
