Dear Friends, FINALLY I've wound some bobbins and begun some lace. It's been 2 years now since I've made any bobbin lace.
I've chosen a simple Toender edging and later on will be having some maths questions as I'm planning on gathering this straight edging around a corner. Something which I've not done before. As I'm off to Belgium and Vietnam on July 2nd I thought I'd get out a travel pillow I've had for many years and never used. I know it was made for me by Maeve who moved to Florida. I think her surname became BROWN while she was on Arachne. Does anyone know what became of Maeve?? I do know she played bagpipes! In the meantime I'm struggling a bit with this pillow. It looks delightful but the central barrel shaped part keeps rising up out of its slots because of the weight of the bobbins. I'm only using some 36 pairs.
