Can also see my learning curve. this way, that way, this size, that size, this fiber, that fiber, with beads, without beads .... LOL
Top size 10, Tourmaline, Marilee Rockley's on line / Yarnplayer's HDT. Lower one size 20, Lizbeth. Col. 139, Fruit Fizz
All my 'stuff' side-by-side. I just need to remember the two patterns are a tad different -- I started with the swivel on the size 10. Will attach the swivel on size 20 once finished with the 'length' which may be a mistake/challenging. Will see when I get there. And, there is yet another pattern for me to try - interlocking. Pattern is available on Kelli's web site.
A mess on my table. I've got Marilee Rockley's HDT Tourmaline, in size 10 -- once I make practice pieces, planning to make a lanyard with "Tourmaline" - I have 2 skeins. My friend, Beth, gave me some beautiful beads - should be attractive once completed.

Kelli Slack's On-Line Class, Intro to Bibilla - 1st of two sessions
I'm using her book and kit. The fiber and needles are nice - sharp points, too. Petalouda Dentelle No.30. Olympus Sashiko Needles. I enrolled in two classes - Mediterranean Knotted Lace and Bibilla. Each class has 2 sessions.
Found some Parlak Oren Bayan Dantel (50) in my thread stash. Practice pieces of 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. I'm using her book and kit. The fiber and needles are new to me. Petalouda Dentelle No.30. Olympus Sashiko Needles. I enrolled in two classes - Mediterranean Knotted Lace and Bibilla. Each class has 2 sessions.
