Note: For a neater garter stitch edging, always slip the first stitch of every row and knit through the back loop of the last stitch of every row. If you find you're having problems with the left facing lace (rows 8, 10, and 12), it is probably because you're forgetting to do the last yarn over before the garter stitch edging.
