Hi fellow Arachnids, There are several easier animals in the late Veronica Sorensen's book, 75 Quick and Easy Patterns in Bobbin Lace. Some in Bridget Cook and Metka Tratnik,s, Idrija Lace. There is a rocking horse in Anna Korableva and Bridget Cookâs Russian lace Patterns (second book p136 I think*) but that is rather difficult for a beginner. Youâd need to simplify it by extracting the rocking horse shape and adding pricking holes. There are other tape lace patterns about which are relatively easy and animals or toys (teddies/rocking horses etc.) are always appreciated. There were some toys/animals in one of the Lace Express issues some time ago.
Hope that helps. Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK. *One of my students worked that fairly recently. From: Sue T Anyway I spoke to her this morning about the baby lace and she seemed pleased with the idea so I am again coming through all of you to ask if you have any suggestions of simple braid type lace pieces that might go into a frame on the babies wall and not be consigned to a drawer after the first few days. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
