I've finally finished my version of the Willow Pattern Plate designed
by Jean Stacey (named 'Inspiration on a Plate' by her) which was
featured in UK Lace Guild Magazine 'Lace' edition 128, October 2007
and have just uploaded to my Arachne Webshots album (Jean Nathan on
the second page). The finished size is just short of A4.
There were no threads or instructions give, just a small picture of
Jean's finished lace and an outline pattern. I decided to make it in
blue - a light blue for the motifs with a double thread in navy to
outline them and pick out some detail and white for the background to
make it as much like a willow pattern plate as possible. I used Venus
crochet thread and decided how to make variations in the stitches for
the elements as I went.
Must say that I found it very fiddly, especially finishing off each
motif, and don't think I'll tackle anything like that again - I'll
stick to continuous lace.
