The blocked size is 20" by 76" (at it's longest point). It was knit on an Addi 3.5mm Lace circular using white Jaggerspun Zephyr laceweight, hand-dyed by myself in tones of apricot. The beads were from ebeads (see my sidebar)

Finally....

Well after a minor set back last night when I nearly finished the last repeat and I dropped a stitch and developed a hole... I put it down in disgust and left it and sorted the mess out this morning and finally came up with this....




I think I prefer this to the 1st nested version, I don't think I want to go any closer with the motifs seeing it's my first voyage into design and knitted lace. I do think once there are more motifs it will look better but if I was going to do a scarf definitely the stacked on top of each other motifs work best.....
