Not sure this is for me. Epic fail.
L.A.C.E. Class on Saturday. We are new members to the group.
The members are friendly and welcome new lace (beginners) makers. Whew, thank goodness - tho, just seeing the examples is such a treat!
The meeting was interesting + we took a break before starting the class. Was able to purchase some second hand bobbins + books. This book is a real treasure, diagrams are wonderful!
The class taught by an accomplished lacemaker. Goodness, she is very knowledgeable and has that special way of demonstrating - she makes it look effortless!!!
I took the pins out when I got home and was not
happy with what I had accomplished. Noticed the errors, can learn from the mistakes. Need to have a class for beginners.
bobbin twists and turns. And, what a needle pin is used for.
It is very rhythmic once you get the hang of
the pattern --- then, things change to make the lace interesting.
After I get my snake finished (realized I wound the bobbins the wrong way - and that was chaos on the little pillow!!!) I hope to get this one back on the lace pillow and get more elements made.
It is a beautiful pattern!
The next class is knitting on a spool - with beads and wire. Me, knitting? I'm a horrible knitter - class does sound interesting!!

I'm not laughing... I'm impressed! That is such fine thread. Spool knitting is a breeze. I think you'll get a kick out of it. Are you going to Stitches Midwest? I haven't made up my mind yet.
I think they have excellent teachers there. I'm a member but it's quite a drive for me so I maybe get there once a year.
Me, too, I'm not laughing!! As I was reading your post and got to the last picture I was SO surprised how small your lace was!!
You are a great beginner!!!
