Here it is Sunday night and I haven't been back to update my progress from Friday night. I got out my piece of bobbin and worked a little more on it..with one eye on the rugby and then the rugby league on TV and trying to keep track of what I was doing..so no guarantees that there aren't any mistakes in this piece.
Besides FNSI my motivation for working on it was that it was our little lace group's get together on Saturday. We now meet on 2 Saturdays each month (and since some times in the past I haven't been organised with a project and have thus taken along some stitching to do, I thought I had better have some lace to take this time!!)
I crocheted a few bands to hold the bobbins in place when I am not working on it.. and that is why there is the brownish band around them...here is a piece of another one I made..quick and easy really.
I'll have to make some time to visit and see what everyone else got up to on Friday night..so that might be a task for tomorrow..
oh Lyn you are so clever,well done.xx
ReplyDeleteI could never do lace making. I would get all those bobbins knotted up. You are sew clever.

Your lace looks amazing Lyn and such a clever idea with the crochet!
ReplyDeleteI agree, such a clever craft, I am not sure that I could manage it, but I certainly admire it and those who do it.
ReplyDeletethat football can be such a distraction can't it!!!! LOL Your lacemaking is amazing....my Mum used to do tatting....that blew my mind too!!! Very clever! ox sugary hugs :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn. Making bobbin lace is one craft I would like to try eventually. I always go and check it out at the craft fairs but just haven't had time to have a go yet. Good luck with your current project. Cheers, Tracy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Lyn. I am in awe of you clever lacemakers... such beautiful creations.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress there Lyn... and such a clever idea with the crochet band to hold the bobbins in place... Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Lyn, lace making is definitely one for those how have patience. Football can be distraction at times.
