I have just completed my first christmas piece for 2010, like what I see in
my newest little design, colour choice and bangle used, but am a bit
dissappointed with the plaited hanging loop. I worked the piece from the
bottom up, attaching the first two threads to the bangle and then at the
other end I left the last 8 pairs at the point hooked it through the bangle
again, then used each pair as a single bobbin. I made up two plaits which
I then knotted together at the top. What I have is a rather twisted hanging
loop. When suspending it up it will hang reasonably well, because of the
weight of the bangle pulls it about straight.
I am considering hanging it to see if it falls straighter with time, do any
of you very experienced lacemakers have any advice on making it lay
straight.
I have uploaded a picture of the plait which shows it better than I have
explained it. It is in the folder called Hurwitzend. Any advice please.
