practice, practice --

 Found some Parlak Oren Bayan Dantel (50) in my thread stash.   Practice pieces of Mediterranean Knotted Lace.    

Dk. Blue practice piece:  edge knots, loops, turning loops (dog ears), bridging loops & picots.   Not certain the small picots look quite right - will try again tomorrow.  On the larger loops - small picots, medium picots, graduated picots.

Lt. Blue piece:  knots & loops (Color 579) - lt blue edge. 

For these pieces, I put the knots a little further apart - not as close together as my initial class piece.

Mediterranean Knotted Lace

 This little sample is my project from the first session of knotted lace.   We learned a LOT during class.   The piece created, had four rows and various picots.

Carrickmacross Lace: Sunburst

After procrastinating -- I picked up a WIP

from the 

 Day and Night

Lace Marathon.    The videos / files are just

about to expire.   Pattern & instruction Theresa Kelly.

I orderd another kit to start a butterfly pattern I found in one of my books.   Never enough time to play.

With some good notes from the videos, I hope to get them completed.   Or just wing it.

The book recommended is link here.  S/H pretty expensive to USA.
