No worries! I got the pattern from a book called A Gathering of Lace. It's basically a pi shawl with the various lace patterns in the rings and a leaf edging.
This is a pattern from a book published by the Lace Museum.
So far, I'm loving bobbin lace. I have a hard time reading patterns so going to class really helps since I like to learn from videos and learn by watching. I went to Hedgehog Lacers' (Southern California) Lace In that past weekend and picked up some supplies (10 balls of tatting thread size 80, crochet hook to do sewings (size 0.6/14US), larger pins, and a pin pusher/puller). Overall, it was lots of fun. It was kinda odd for me to be there because everyone else was old enough to be my mom-grandma... But hey! No worries! :)
The first part with the cloth stitch has a "pin under 2" and the spiders go from 3 in a row down to 1 in a row. I've progressed a bit more than the photo linked above. But, I believe there are quite a few mistakes. I'll post again when the piece is complete.
This!
Please tell that the library isn't closing, that these are just "retired" or removed from circulation books. :'( The library is the only frickin' place I can find Meg Swansen's A Gathering of Lace for a reasonable price. I am very, very tempted to just photocopy the whole damn book, but the pages are bigger than A4. Plus the library in my hometown had a first edition of Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns in hard cover; I borrowed that book so much. ;-)
I can't deal with this sort of pressure!!! The choosing!!! I closed my eyes and pointed. It will make me do a happy dance, because honestly getting any book off my list would cause some very bad white girl moves to transpire. It actually is not a bad random pick, I'm trying to find things I can do in my spare time to bring in a few more dollars - credit cards are the devil!!! don't do it!!! If I win and you don't like my choice, feel free to tell me you disapprove and choose a different one lol. I'm very talky today...sorry..I go now. Thanks for the contest!
Frank and Beans!
