Grafting in general and especially Fine Lace.

Hi, this is my latest design Equilibrium, and I need to graft the two knitted halves to each other.
I hold one part in my lap and the other equal part is on my knees.
there is a black foam board under my knitting, for security. That will prevent the lace from slipping away, the black is a good backdrop to the white yarn.
I've got a red Lifeline in the top beit, so as not to miss any stitches while pulling on the yarn.
1. start with the end of the working yarn and the sewing needle on the bottom needle,
pick up 2 from the top needle and pull the yarn through.
2. then pick up 2 from the bottom needle and pull yarn through.
3. now, pick up the left leg of the previously picked up loop and a new one off the top needle. pull the yarn through.
4. then, pick up the left leg of the previously picked up loop plus a new one from the bottom needle.
repeat 3 and 4 until all loops are used.
leave the yarn twisty during grafting, so it doesn't break.
Have a Fine Knit

Thank you! Lovely and clear, and will be much needed in a few months when I get to that stage with my Williamson Stole. ❤

Thank you, Monique. I think that my next Shetland lace project will be your Shetland Stars design. ❤

Patience of a Saint and a good eyesight!
Does this help or give you stress

[@marianneknapp4846]

I would guess this is very time consuming and cannot miss a stitch no room for errors here ❤

Is this grafting method fine for a hap shawl (Morag shawl) knitted with light fingering yarn (Bc garn bio shetland 280m per 50g).
I did a provisional cast on for the edge part : do I need to place edge stitches back on a needle and cut out the waste yarn before I start the grafting ?
