I've been on arachne since the year it started. Dowager sounds dreadful and hair colours however you spell it isn't great - do I really have to admit that my brown is now fake?
Anyway, on to things lace. I'm off to Germany in about a month's time for a course. Looking around for something that would be a bit of a challenge, but not being willing to embark on a large everlasting project, I found the LOKK book about s'Gravenmoer. This has both traditional patterns and some new ones, using interesting threads. Has anyone made the pattern on page 127 called Changeant? It uses a thin and thick black thread in the s'Gravenmoer half stitch and has a light and dark effect depending on which thread is the worker in different areas. I want to make it because the effect is really interesting. I'd like to use a different colour though, and I'm wondering if the effect would be less pronounced in a lighter colour. -- Error:015: Unable to exit Windows. Try the door.
