I recently asked if any one knew where I might find a circle of lace big
enough to fit a clock face about 8 inches diameter. I had seen one on one
of the website links possibly sent in by Lorelli but couldn't remember where
and have never seen a book with that kind of pattern in. Jo kindly resent
the link to that image but in the mean time I had been hunting my various
books and eventually found one with a circle (which could take a piece of
cloth, or else a second piece of lace which was also in the book).
Although not as beautiful and eye appealing as the other one I saw I have
prepared this pattern for work and actually began putting in bobbins last
night. It has the look of a clock face so I am hoping we will enjoy it
hanging on our wall for many years to come, once it is complete.
I also tried hunting down a suitable circular grid to attempt to put
elements together to make an acceptable image to work from but I couldn't
work out if the ones I have from the lace guild would have enough dots in to
make an effective pattern. I expect there is a formular but it all escapes
me, sadly.
My computer skills have prevented me from working out how to change a
straight edge to a circular or oval one using the lace design program so I
have still not managed to find a pattern small enough for my candleholders.
One of these days, maybe, :-)
