 Canoto (sugar cane)

 Kap'i Una

Front & back before pieces removed from the fabric.

 I am enjoying this book.   Loads of information and patterns --- 

 Lace of Paraguay.

 

Finished with the pieces ....

They are off of the fabric.

 

A challenge to photograph.

 

Introduction to Nanduti:

 

Here is the latest on the Nanduti frame.

The pink flower is complete 1.75"

- DMC coton perle 8, Col. 818.

I removed the teal/gold motif which was

perle coton No.8.  Our next sessions are

using size 12 + I wanted to practice.

So the (lower left) partially created

circle is DMC coton perle 12, color 3823 for 

spokes and color 316 for woven petals & embellishment inbetween.  I do not have the variety of colors in size 12; however, do appreciate the lacy look using it.

After a couple rings of knots on the circle edge - I will attempt cutting away the fabric without clipping thru the fibers!  Wish me luck.

If you visit the Virtual Education link above - you will see a lot of new workshops & kits to sign up for.   Some are holiday.  NIce to have class without leaving home ; )

This video explains some of the motif origins and information on this lace technique:

Plus, a few books I have on hand:

 Bilingual edition.   For our sessions, we sew on the spokes and them compensate the knots & weaving based on the sizes of our circles.

 Japanese with "how-to s".   For these motifs, instructions are to start with a certain number of spokes for the patterns.  

 Nice projects, diagrams, how-to s, and the gallery of Nyanduti is stunning.

Book Bits (Tatting, Nanduti, Lace)/ Scissors Bits

 

 After today's class session - start of the flower, top left, using DMC coton perle No. 8 - Col. 818 (Dawn Loving pattern).  Introduction to Nanduti class - thru The Lace Museum, Virtual Education.  Dawn Lovig is the instructor.  I don't care for the teal/gold one - I'm not sure if it was color selection, or way I wove; however, not really a good look -- may need to re-do.

In previous posts, I shared the types of 

needles I've been using on Nanduti project.

Next --

Carrickmacross Scissors -- these are what I will use

with the Nanduti.   (When cloth is cut away)

Tools:   Scissors.   Above "German / Stainless Steel" (my best pair, very good quality),

Below "Pakistan" (better value - nice quality)

I noticed BOHIN has some nice looking

 Hardanger scissors on their site.   Look like the same

style scissors.

The frame was purchased from The Lace Museum.  Kit for the class.

New to my bookshelf:

 

I purchased this from Shawna Wachs - tho, I see Kelli Slack,

A Twisted Picot, has it on the web site (for sale).

If you are not familiar, Martha Ess had some tatted pieces from this book, on her blog.

 In addition to the cover project, many ideas and patterns - how to connect different shapes, color use, etc.  Gallery.   Eye Candy of Nyanduti.  There are more preview pictures on this site - link here.   I purchased from A Twisted Picot.

Got Lace?  Nice Lace ideas book:

 

 I found this while browsing Barnes and Noble book store.   Amazed at the variety.
