I am about to finish my first ever hanky edging with corners. I've been working "Passionfruit" from 100 Traditional Patterns using Egyptian cotton and a bronze metallic gimp. I probably should have worked a swatch first, I don't think the gimp is going to show up very well, but I'll just call it "subdued". I'm very pleased with it. The pattern is all point ground with the gimp outlining a section (I love doing point ground). I worked the last corner in one go without looking at the working diagram. I have about 6 pins left to work and then sew in the end to the beginning. I've been waiting for a chunk of quiet, uninterrupted time to do that and the time hasn't come up in the last 10 days.
Already I'm looking forward to my next project. I am demonstrating at an 1832 fort in September and I would like to work one of the patterns from the Laces of Ipswich. I would also like to make a bolster pillow, but do you know how hard it is to find wool in the middle of the summer? I've checked the thrift shops and they have never seen wool blankets come in. ===== Diane Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galena Illinois USA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
