Inching Along
bookmark almost done I’m surprised this photo came out – not the steadiest on my feet – I was expecting it to be out of focus or blurry cause I zigged or zagged when the shutter opened. :} However I have managed to pick away at the bookmark the last couple of days. But I…

Bobbin Lace Bookmark
Still trying to get a photo of bobbin lace that’s in better focus. Once again this looked fine in my camera but looks blurry to me here. However, I think you can see well enough to get an idea of what is happening. I’m using 12 pair – 10 0f them with a 2/20 mercerized…

Next Fan
Once again the photo looked fine in my photo software but now looks blurry – at least you can get an idea of what it looks like. :} It’s not perfect – not even close – but there are no ‘design elements’ in it that I’m aware of and frankly I’m pretty pleased with it.…

The job list made up with such good intentions a while ago has been largely ignored recently and I find myself constantly heading to the Fanny loom, the rayon chenille, the…

Bobbin Lace Tonight
Tonight is the local weaving guild meeting and I’ll be doing the program on lace. Bobbin lace is essentially weaving by building your loom as you go. This allows a great deal of flexibility because warps can turn into wefts, and vice versa. You can also tie knots and make twists because the threads are…

Bobbin Lace Show and Share
Friday I’m doing a lace show and share again but of course I had something started on one of my pillows so before I can prepare the pillow, I have to finish my little bookmark. 🙂 I’m using thrums left over from a warp I did months ago with some of the 2/20 mercerized cotton.…

Duck to Water?
Anna Marie sent this photo of what Christa Mae has been working on since the Bobbin Lace Show and Share last Sunday. 😀 The bracelet at the top was made at the SnS. She then went on to make 3 more, then found this website: http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/index.htm and is proceeding to learn new stitches and make…

More From Lace
Here’s another picture from our lace day – me to the right, Crista Mae working on her bracelet and her mom Anna Marie to the left. We really basked in the sunshine while the temps were about -19C outside.
