Sue, Do you use the stranded thread for Honiton, because it must be pretty fine? I've just finished working my first piece of Honiton lace and am very, very happy with the result.
Also, Caz's bedspread won a prize at the Lace Competition last Sunday so now I have to think about sending it to her. I'll be sorry to see it go because it looks lovely with a blue silk fabric beneath it to show off the work and a hand-knitted teddy bear relaxing against the pillows!
