This is my 2nd attempt of Continental Bobbin lace project.   Pattern:   cKaren H Thompson, 2020

The first one I made - had multiple errors!    Good to try again and create without mistakes.  Initially, I didn't really notice when I'd make a wrong twist!  

I'm using LizBeth size 20 fiber:   631 purple, 615 yellow, 622 pink, 686 aqua, 696 orange & 649 blue.

This project uses a sewing edge.  Once you get the hang of it .... 

This is my 2nd try with the pattern:

IOLI: Introduction to Bobbin Lace (first post)

 

A few weeks ago, I was a participant in IOLI's Introduction to Bobbin Lace class, via ZOOM.

This was my first project - 'Introductory Sampler'

cKaren H Thompson, 2020

I used perle coton No. 8, colors 743, 758, 3042, 498, 799, 471

The second project - 'Bracelet, bookmark or bobbin holder'

cKaren H Thompson, 2020

I used perle coton No. 8, colors 799, 743, 471.

It was suggested, that we practice using the Introductory sampler 

in multiple fiber colors [I used Lizbeth fiber (size 20) - 1st photo below], 

using the same color of fiber [I used perle coton (No. 8) - 2nd photo below], 

and try tatting cotton in multiple colors [I used Lizbeth (size 80) - 3rd photo below].

In the evenings after the class:

Lizbeth Size 20:  colors 631, 615, 622, 649, 686, 696

Perle Coton No. 8:  color 3823

Lizbeth size 80: colors 696, 615, 621, 646, 683, 655

IOLI Class: Marilee Rockley

Saturday's class taught by Marilee Rockley.

Pattern:  Beaded Path by Marilee Rockley

Fiber:  Size 10, Color 650--Denim Blue Lt, Lizbeth

I have to say, when Marilee says she provides the kit for class ... it has EVERYTHING!  Fiber, Crochet Hook, Tatting Shuttle, Beads, Bead Mat, Findings, Color pattern (2pg).   It has everything needed to create a set:

earrings, bracelet, necklace.

I thought the class would be a struggle for me; however, Marilee teaches with grace and patience -- in no time, I was able to get the pattern going.   All chains & beads.   The bracelet is tatted, need to add the jewelry findings after I end the tatted fiber ends.

So impressed was I, 

I gave her a donation for an xtra kit!   This is a lovely color combination.  A wood-rose fiber and  beads.   She offered lovely combinations - hard to select just one ; )

 

Some purchases from vendor, Black Sheep at Orenco.  (Was told ) Yellow Heart top left-flat shuttle.  Lacewood top right.  Purple heart lower left.  Myrtle lower right.

 Magical edging keeper .... Link Here:   http://www.blacksheepatorenco.com/store/p107/Magical_Edging_Keeper-_ebony.html.

This one is purple heart.   It is the perfect size for tatted edges.   Probably will work with knitting/knitted edges, too.    (honest - just had to have one to try).

Above:  At one of the dinners, participants were asked to wear hats w/lace theme.   Each participant received a hand made "hat" which is actually a magnet - for their lace pillows, or notion bags.   Sweet lady bug fabric ; )    and charming hat band.

A good mail day ...

Errors on the photos - so, I've uploaded them again .... sorry

I was fortunate to be the winner of
Sue's blog
giveaway.

Sue said, on her blog, that she learned a lot
in her first year of tatting
and enjoys seeing all the beautiful things
people share in blog-land.

Last I checked, she was on #11 of the
25 motif challenge.

What a wonderful package,
a delightful card and a beautiful tatted braclet,
thx Sue - I'm thrilled to wear it ; )
