I am working my way around the wheel one spoke at a time and counting the cross pattern and lacing under to the rim.

I have placed a sheet of paper in the wheel to make clear that the spokes we are lacing is is a bit more visual.

The direction of the outer flange spokes is placed in the pattern in the opposite way from the initial set of drive spokes. Visually you can see the cross pattern starting to emerge.

The spokes are dropped into the hub from the inside of the flange so that they will be laced from the outside of the wheel. In my experience this working from the outside makes the lacing a bit easier.

It should look like this when the spokes are in place. Note the rotation of the wheel so that the hub is pulling the rim around it in a counterclockwise pattern.

This shows the two incorrect positions for the NDS spoke location. Note the spoke on the left leaves a space between the first spoke and another drive side spoke hole. And the one on the right leads our first spoke so it is incorrect. The right hole for us to start is in-between these two spokes.

Gathering up the right spokes for the non-drive side of the wheel. In my case 9 or half of the 18 NDS spokes.

The spokes are being bent upward from the hub to seat the spoke end, and make the lacing easier when we get to the final step.

The next step is just a quick move to help get everything in an easy position for the next batch of spokes on the non-drive side.

Our first spoke is the one on the left, the second spoke in place on the flange will go around the rim in the fourth hole from our first spoke.
