Sunset/sunbeam lace pattern?

[kaberett]

Hi folk!

I'm currently working on a couple of instances of Celestarium, and I'm getting to thinking about edgings. In particular, I'm sure someone must at some point have charted up a lace pattern for the classic sunbeams-spreading-out-from-setting-sun image-concept (you know, this sort of thing), but I've had a pretty thorough rummage through Ravelry and the closest I'm coming up with is this beaded pattern and a shawl that isn't quite right but could, in a pinch, be adapted.

I don't suppooooose any of you have any ideas? I'm reasonably comfortable adapting existing patterns but I'm a little low on brain at the moment so I'd rather not have to chart it up myself!

Thanks lots :-)

Oooh.

The current version has different color by magnitude (from a bright white cold to a shimmery blue). I'm curious that the bead sizes are working well for you - I had a lot of trouble finding beads that worked okay for the yarn.

I'm thinking I want to buy the yarn while on the London Trip in November, because I want yarn for *something*, and I'm contemplating silk, but the Malabrigo has been a backup option.

(I am not worrying about not buying the yarn until November because I will be sewing the Alternity blanket together until latish October.)

Per project notes, I'm double-wrapping the stitches that end up holding each of the three largest bead sizes. I think on the next one I'm going to double-wrap for the two largest only; it really is working out very well indeed and I'm a little surprised.

(I ended up buying my Malabrigo via Woolstack, who ordered in some colours specially for me; I couldn't find any London shops I was willing to spend energy getting to that carried a large enough range, but then I have Exceeding Limited Energy, so.)
