[lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern
I'm making a second attempt at the third pattern in Brigittle Bellon's "Kloppelmuster Fur Schals Und Tischlaufer". The first time around I got the pattern started and figured it out until I turned to go back and attach the lace as I went on that part of pattern. There I got stuck. Since I had some other deadlines coming up I cut it off the pillow and set every thing aside for a while. Now I want to go back and master what stopped me before. First question, Is there a translation of the book anywhere? I've used Google translate for bits and pieces, but that can be more amusing that accurate most of the time. Second question, Is there a working diagram for the patterns? That would help a lot. Or does someone have some suggestions or hints. For me it's hard to figure out where the pairs go in the beginning by just looking at a color picture of the completed lace. For now it's back to more trial and error at getting started again. -- Vila Cox Warped & Wonderful http://www.warpedandwonderful.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Warped-Wonderful-Handwoven-Treasures/241360532566599 - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern
Hi Vila, I made two scarves out of this book. The book is only in German , it is at first difficult to get what she is saying but once you get going it works fin. I have checked the pattern now, Attach the two parts of the pattern and use it as one repeat. Once you turn your pillow remember that you have to sew pairs in as you go along. If you could explain exactly how you got stuck I'll try to figure it out for you. If you need a translation of the introduction I'd be happy to help you out with it too.

Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern
I did not mean to ask a questions and disappear, but life got in the way of me working on the project and posting here. I put a couple of pictures on my Flickr page. The first one shows my original attempt. The arrow points to the place I got stuck before I cut it off. http://www.flickr.com/photos/warpedandwonderful/8730897654/in/photostream/ The second picture shows my current effort. http://www.flickr.com/photos/warpedandwonderful/8729786431/in/photostream/ Tonight I tried again and still do not feel comfortable with this pattern. I seems like I'm short a pair at both arrow 2 and 3. While I think this is a beautiful pattern, I starting to feel like it is not worth the struggle. Making lace should be enjoyable and I am not having fun with this one. I set it aside and worked on a simple bookmark while I thought about other projects I would like to start.

Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern
Hello Vila, The pattern is beautiful, and I have made a scarf from the same book, which is made very similarly. I think there is nothing wrong in your piece of lace. (And there wasn't either in the one you cut off, as I can see). Number 2 is ok: you must leave the 2 edge pairs plus the guide waiting until you reach that border later again. Now you have to continue working the complete triangle in roseground, which may not offer difficulty because there is a diagram for the "unfinished" border in the pattern sheet to indicate you how to make it. Once you have finished the triangle, make the narrow cloth stitch trail that follows, then a row of whole stitches and again a row with a trail. You will have to make a joining at the first top stitch of this trail. I think that you have to keep working, because it does not look as if there are pairs missing. Ask again if you arrive to a problem later, but you should not have it. The patterns of this book are very accurate and in torchon everything matches. Keep telling us if these explanations were useful for you. Best luck! And don't cut the lace off! AS soon as you overcome this part, you will see it is not difficult at all.

Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions and encouragement! I am turning the pillow as I work, the picture was taken from a different direction than I had been working on the lace. I'll talk myself into a more positive mood about it and try again soon. Even starting the section of rose ground was beyond me a few nights ago and I had figured that section out the first time. I'm going to print out all your emails and highlight the suggestions so I can read them while I'm working on the lace next time. I'll keep you posted. It might be a few days. My weaving turned into a full time job and I spend a lot of time in the evenings finishing up items and preparing them for shipping the next day. Evenings used to be my lace time.

Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern
So excited! I picked up the lace pillow again tonight. A few days ago I had figured out how to leave the loop and work the rose ground, so tonight I finished enough of that to tackle the big stumbling block of sewings as I worked the next section. It all came together this time. I did shread the first thread using a crochet hook that is too small. But that can be fixed. I put a picture on my Flickr account. I'm looking forward to finishing and wearing this scarf. http://www.flickr.com/photos/warpedandwonderful/8932485722/ Thank you all for your suggestions and encouragement! It is really going to work up pretty quickly once I get more practice on this pattern.
