I don't do much lace, so I'm wondering what the rationale is behind the difference between round 12 and round 16. Do the holes made by different methods look different? Is it to do with the psso and the k2tog slanting in different ways? (i.e. are they trying to get the slants outwards and then inwards, or something?)
And it was the first yo that went sloppy for me - the one *before* doing the [transfer back to left needle, k2tog] bit. The first time I tried it, it ended up with a huge loop and the hole was larger, so the second time I pulled it very firm at each stage, and that looked better.
Have just taken a phone photo to send to you - hope it works! The bottom two efforts are using the pattern as writ; the next one is my first attempt at my modification, with a loop where I've had to pull yarn through to even up the holes; the top one (which I hope shows up!) is much tidier.
