Re: [lace] thread assistance please
If the pattern is all in half-stitch, you could try any equivalent you have on hand to 'a' linen 60/3 (take your pick of wraps from the 3 choices); half-stitch is accommodating. It can squinch tight or open broadly, as long as there are at least three pairs to traverse the space.

Is it in a book? They may have a section at the beginning or end where they list which threads they were using for each size... my Brigitte Bellon christmas book is like that.

[lace] thread assistance please
Hi there, I have the morning to myself and have decided to have a go at a pattern that has been calling to me. BUT it is in German and I am trying to work out which thread would be best The pricking calls for Kleines Motiv in Halbschlag 6 Paare, Leinen 60/3 (Beine: je 3 Paare) Now I am guessing it means 6 pairs for the main body plus 3 pairs per leg (it is a lizard) Again a guess it is in linen 60/3 but which one!! Brenda's book lists the following linen as 60/3 Bockens Knyppelgarn (Swedish) at 23 wpc Campbell Linen (Irish) at 22 wpc Fresia Linen (Belgian) at 19 wpc So again I am guessing - as it is written in German it is either the Swedish or the Belgian thread. But which one?

Re: [lace] My broomstick
Hi Ann Congratulations on getting your broomstick done and the witch fly. Just lucky it'll be a cloudy night, were it a full moon, she'd be out of the window, and then we'd never get to see a photo.

Re: [lace] Broomsticks?
I am not sure how large/small the broom stick needs to be, but my first thoughts are starting with a chop stick or meat skewer. Cut to length and add a few grass or raffia wisps to the end. Do show us a picture when it is finished. Lorri I have just finished the Presencia witch pattern and it was such fun to make. Vivienne suggests adding a broomstick which I would like to make. Anybody got any ideas on how to make a tiny broomstick?
