Pecocks Progress- 2nd week, Filet Crochet

Have just finished 29 rows. its now about 5 inches deep.  I have just started to do the lacets or the netting in the middle.  This is a new technique for me so I was very happy to learn.

  Here is a close up of the lacets.


This picture will give you a general idea as to how far I actually am. About a quarter now.  As I mentioned in the beginning of this endeavor that its worked from the top down.

Here is a closer view of just half of it.  Its really A BigAssedProject!  Reminds me of a cross stitich group I belonged to by that name. lol
