Hiya all. I am a newb at bobbin lace making. I feel pretty good since I have turned my first 3 corners on a hanky (gods know what I am going to use it for?) and it looks good. I have done a rather simple but lovely torchon design from Doris Southards book Lessons in Bobbinlace making called Crown and triangle. I did add a passive pair for a sewing edge. Not really sure if the thread chosen is too skinny for the design, but well. it is going to be my first real piece of lace, apart from the inset thing with diamonds with cloth stitch and spiders. I do however have a problem in how to get the edges of the hanky border together in a nice looking way, I do have a tiny crotchet hook, which I gether from the messages I have been browsing, are necessary? Keep up with the lacemaking. So far it is loads of fun, although my fingers are sore from the pins. Tania
