Ok...Agnes, where do you find pillows large enough to do a piece so big? I would love to try to convert a "yardage" pricking to a large version made with lace weight wool...(or maybe #10 crochet thread?) I could think of a number of patterns that would make gorgeous shawls LOL

It is amazing how exciting torchon can be when itis enlarged and made with colours and texture. Have a happy and restful Christmas. You deserve it. Janis in Honeydew, South Africa, where the weather is beautiful. Subject: [lace] Shawl finished Last night I finished a Torchon shawl for my daughter for Christmas. When I started it 2 moths ago, I was not sure whether it would be for Christmas 2011 or 2012, but I did it, and am quite pleased with the result. The material was a mixture of alpaca wool, silk and rayon in lace weight. Not the easiest to work with at it is very slippy and I used standard English bobbins with spangles. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Pinpoint, and is believed to be clean. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
