Just started Queen Annes Lace by MMario...I know a lot of you guys have knit it...any advice? Im doing it on DPN's right now in Cobweb weight Merino/Kid Mohair blend. Im trying to get it big enough to move to circulars soon as the DPNS I have are made of metal and rather clunky with this weight of yarn....any suggestions or tips would be appreciated!!!

Do your utmost to avoid "tinking" back to correct knitting errors.....mohair is a b**** to "tink". Count , count, count, and use ring markers. Mario's patterns are fun to knit.

I sympathize on the center---makes you feel like you are trying to dress an octopus. The yarn sounds very plummy and luxurious----please send us pictures of it while it is in progress.

The first few rounds felt

The first few rounds felt horribly clumsy to me as well, and I was using bamboo dpns. Have you looked at the "belly button start"?
