Well, I am another newbie, with just two bookmarks under my belt. I am using a flat block pillow and Midlands spangled bobbins. I did try the Honiton bobbins, but they don't behave too well on a flat pillow, LOL.
I did try to learn from books but just faced this huge mental block - what I read and then tried just didn't look like the photos or anything resembling lace so i joined the Lace Guild which proved to be the right thing to do, for me at least. Unfortunately they meet only once a month and often I come across a problem well before the next meeting so I either resolve it or have to wait. Right now I am stuck with a problem and hope you can help. I want to make a Torchon miniature shawl which starts on a straight line. The background is Bucks which I don't have any problems with but I do not understand how I work the ground on a diagonal when I start from a straight line. Can anybody assist? thanks Micki from freezing cold scotland - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
