Twice a month the little bobbin lace group I belong to meets on a Saturday. Yesterday was the day. So armed with my bobbins, thread, lace pillow and a new pricking (pattern) off I went.
Several of the ladies in the group have already made this pattern for a mat so I was able to glean plenty of help and advice as I got started.
I started with a very full box of bobbins and by the time I had wound the thread on for the new project there were very few left in the container.
This is the beginning of the central piece and later there are 2 borders to add on. So after a good morning's work and a little time after lunch as well, here is what I achieved for the day..the stitch holders are to keep the bobbins together when I am not working on it.
..I .will have to see how much further I get before the next get together at the beginning of November.
WOW I am always in awe of you ladies that can do bobbin lacing... I would get all the bobbins knotted up...
