Dear all -- With apologies to Felix Mendelssohn
for the title of the above Subject, I need some
help on that voyage! As everybody who has talked
to me for the last month or two knows, I have
been making a fan leaf for the wonderful set of
fan-sticks made for me long ago by John Brooker.
My idea was (is) to make a BL net background
appliqué with fern motifs done in needle lace. A
couple of NL motifs being done and turned out OK,
I set to work on the net, using a logarithmic
grid, gold-metallic thread (hateful stuff, but
beautiful -- what can you do?), and what I
thought was Dieppe ground. Floated happily along
on that gorgeous calm logarithmic sea till about
halfway through the leaf, and it suddenly came
over me that was I ABSOLUTELY SURE that I was
doing Dieppe ground?
Beautiful it was, but was it Dieppe? Did it matter? Of course it mattered!
Ran to Sally Johansen in a panic, and lo and
behold, sure enough, it wasn't Dieppe ground. It
is a beautiful net, but WHAT IS IT? I am doing
CTC-pin-CT.
Help!
