Bullion Sun

 Another addition:  Simple Bullion Stitches.  Center - per video, also can weave 3 rounds first, then add the bullion stitches - forms cylinders.
 1.25" 20 pins.  I tried DMC Coton Perle 8.  Color 959.   Very soft fiber.  Probably will go back to using Cebelia or Flora -- I wonder how Lizbeth fibers would work ....

 Instruction via You Tube.  (Tutorial 05) Centro de Bullones Simples en un Sol Redondo.

Next, Tutorial (6):

Sol de Naranjito

 For Tutorial 03 (which has four parts) - You Tube:   I used DMC Cebelia, No. 20, Color 745. 2", 24 pins.

Naranjito Sun 

 My work space -- getting a start with the Sun Lace.

 Pulling the pins out! 

 I'm getting used to the patterns and pillow (w/pins).   My past Teneriffe Lace pieces were created on looms - so these are similar, yet unique techniques to learn.   (Tutorial on the left 1.25"  -- Tutorial on the right 2").   

The kit I purchased has everything needed.   Pillow, carry bag, scissors, threader, fiber, needle, 1" pins, patterns.   [i purchased extra patterns].

In addition - I found a few more  things useful.   Tape measure, small Clover brand clips, DMC needle threader (which holds the needle on a hook for threading), needle gripper to help get the needle thru small areas/anchoring, straight pin puller and pusher (saving my brittle nails), and a pricker for the patterns (again saving my fingers), pincushion, pin bowl -- lace making supplies in general.


The next pattern:   Tutorial 04

Sol Lace

 I used Flora 20, Color 13.   Fiber made in Hungary, 100% Cotton.  18 pins, 1.25".



Patterns/instructions on You Tube:


 I use the Auto Translate feature on the CC section.   Translates Spanish to English (or many languages).





 


Supplies from 

Juinellie Sol
Tenerife Sol Lace Crafts


I also own (and have not used yet):
 an excellent instruction book that I need to translate to read.   Probably could figure out by the photos.    I did get the patterns ready --
