Hi everyone, and many thanks to Irene for proposing the INIM project Some of us have decided to embark on projects 'just because' (we can't be at convention). I'm working a butterfly from Ulrike Löhr's 'Butterfly & Moth' book, a title I bought from a lace day, tantalizing, yet (I wondered) when would I get around to using this book? So - choosing a pattern for Irene's proposal got me into the book. I'm having a blast making the best of it, when I'm not able to be at the pillow, I take the book with me to study the various patterns and diagrams (this is not a book for beginners, nor the expert but faint of heart. eek!). I'm giving myself just this week to work at it, as if I was at a class. If it is still on the pillow by Sunday, then it will go in the heap of PIP (Projects in Progress) - or I'll finish it :p
Bev, your butterfly is beautiful, and I'm totally amazed at the progress in only 3 days of working it. We formed a small group to work on this pattern, and most of us never even reached this point after several months! (I admit to not even getting so far as to make the pricking yet!) Most of the group have cut the project off their pillows -- it just wasn't fun for them -- and one or two are putting it on temporary hold for now. Perhaps it was a bit too advanced for us at this time.
I look forward to seeing your progress by the end of the week. -- Mary, in Baltimore, MD [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
