Project notes: This pattern is my first foray into the world of entrelac.  Looks way more complicated than it actually is.  Yarn is self-striping...no special effort needed on my part.  Entrelac is more time consuming than regular knitting, though.

When picking up the stitches, I found it was easier just to pick up a stitch under one strand, versus two.  With two strands, the piece doesn't really lay flat.

This item is going to be a gift for my mum.
