Hi all
Finally finished my Beds butterfly. I started it last May on a course
with Christine Springett.
It has 6 rolled tallies, she did the first one to show me how to do
them, and then I struggled with the other five.
Each time I came to THAT point, I put the pillow away, and did something
easier on another pillow.
Anyway, I bit the bullet and by the time I came to the last one it just
worked.
I am quite proud of it, even though it is not perfect, and I have
uploaded a photo on Arachne as Sue Duckles
told me to do.
I also uploaded a photo of a 15cm diameter mat i did about 12 years ago,
when I had my first bout of lace making.
I went to a mixed needlecraft class, where there was one other person
who wanted to learn bobbin lace.
The class folded after 10 weeks, and I struggled on by myself,
eventually abandoning lace altogether as work and
family took up my time. When I took up the bobbins again about 2 years
ago, I found I had to start from scratch
again, and also that my fingers are a lot stiffer now.
Anyway, if you want to have a look, go to the Arachen webshots album.
Photos listed under my name.
B.t.w. Sue, I hope you can sleep peacefully in the knowledge that do as
I am told.
