HI All,
I am in the process of making a lace garter, which I have made before. I am
just wondering how others who may have made a garter for a bride managed to
finish it off with the elastic or ribbon, or both, threaded through the
middle.
In the past I have never been very successful with
Hi Dona and everyone, I am making a garter for my niece, I tried one earlier

Yes, if you are attaching it to ribbon ('something blue' presumably)

Okay, I'm very guilty of just glossing over and deleting things that don't
pertain to me at that moment. And so I've done with the information regarding
garters. (I only have 3 daughters; why on earth would I want information on
garters?!) Could I possibly have been in denial that they would one

There are several small books of patterns by Marjorie Preece (sp?). I
know The Lacemaker (Ohio, USA) sells them. I don't know if other
suppliers also carry the books, but they may.
However, I don't think there's anything about the technique--just
patterns for those who know how to do it.

's Gravenmoer is a form of hand-made torchon which has half stitch
worked with diagonal and vertical threads instead of the usual diagonal
and horizontals. I've not done any myself but I believe it's achieved
by working diagonal rows of halfstich instead of going back and forth -

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is 's Gravenmoer and what are Sulky

I think the finished garter will be just on 30 inches, the pricking I am
using is about 7.25 inches long and I am making four repeats.
I take my lace pillow to work and it is wonderful to see it grow bit by bit
after every lunch half hour!

Hi Irene and everyone
goodie, lots of people making long laces, and some of us into garters!
I am greatly encouraged. The 25 cm. that are on the pillow as of last
night are still 25 cm. this morning (no garter elves?) but I'm pumped,
the next 5 cm. will be fun. Yes Irene I promise to keep going..
