Nice pattern. I'm thinking you are way better than me but this may help. I recently laced a pair of three leading three trailing but with an extra weave near the hub. The only way I could get the second side spokes into the nipples was to push the rim down over the hub, and then use a long, 16mm, set of nipples. Once the spokes were all pulled in and the wheel settling down, I then one by one replaced the 16mm nipples for the normal 12mm ones. It was quite a struggle but the wheels look pretty cool once done. Good Luck.
