There are many patterns that can be worked either way.

has a 45 degree grid so can reverse and look the same,
however it's worked.
There can be a problem with some laces that use gimp.

Hello all,
I am here wondering how your New Year is going so far. I have a question, I
am almost afraid to ask, it has nothing to do with lace, but something I like
to do while making lace.
