Crathorne Bug - working both wings in unison

both wings worked in unison

After a few trials and tribulations of working these needlelace wings, this is the final result!

I worked both wings side by side in two strands of DMC Col.680, to keep them equal and balanced.  I worked 7 rows on each side starting with 3-4 stitches, and gradually increasing to 8-9 stitches.  It all depends on your tension, but my tip is, do not make your needlelace too tight.
