(3 flower cluster DMC #12, Col 794 blue, 223 Rose, 676 Gold); outside ring 676 Gold, 316 Rose, 503 green; 2 Leaf made with DMC 928 & DMC 503; lg circle 316 rose, 676 grid/knots)

Here goes:

   

 pulling out the scissors ....

 getting ready to cut the fabric from the back .... then starch

 

Nanduti 1 Class -- re try [Edited post]

Ripped out a LOT.   Giving another try.   (EDITED post)

  

I was not happy with the large circle or knotted flowers.   Thought there was too much - squished too many stitches in too small of a circle.

 -- Nanduti 1 Classes.

   

Ripped a lot out and gave another 'go'.   Knotted flowers changed to woven petals.  Larger 'grid' to practice the motif of woven/knotted areas.

Practice on the flowers - they all need rings of knots near the outside circle.

single circles / floral:  Anchor 12, Col. 0968 and 0969.

The circle was challenging - Now that I have the hang of it.  I laced a new piece of fabric on a frame to try the circle pattern again.   Will try larger circle with grid / outside ring.   Maybe it will look better now that I understand the patterns.

Prep for upcoming Nanduti Medallion:

Preparing for the next sessions of Nanduti thru the Lace Museum's virtual education classes.  This series of classes will be on a larger frame and fabric. Nanduti Medallion pattern taught by Dawn Loving.  link here.  I prepared 2 pieces of muslin fabric and used DMC Baroque Crochet Cotton to lace onto the frame.

Nanduti Lace is a traditional Paraguayan lace:

  I am still working on patterns from  past sessions.  I pulled them out last night and was amazed at how delicate they look (as WIPs).   It is a lot to learn (for me), even with an excellent instructor!    Perhaps this larger pattern will be easier to navigate.  And the sessions will be q o week instead of weekly.  

 

So, I have some time to put in more fiber - before the next sessions start in April.

I could not participate in these sessions without the support of my DH -- he knows how engrossed I get with textile art, community art projects, and learning new techniques.  Hours pass and I'm still at it into the wee hours of the morning.   PLUS, grateful to friends who have extra fibers in their stash to gift me - and organic beeswa from my girlfriend's spouse (from his bee hives).

I filled in my Lace Bingo card and emailed to Kelli Slack.

Did you complete one?

 I'm going to add in some knotted circles inbetween the rose color petals.  (Arasape).   Still deciding on a fiber color.   And, have the circle/flowers to complete -- not liking the knotting of the flower, even tho I've tried a couple times.   May weave in some color.

like this one:  

 Undecided.

Misc.

My friend gave me these two vintage Weave-It looms.

I enjoy looms / yarns.

I have a bag in the works - which I forgot about until I was gifted the two looms.   Had a hunt, and it was in a project bag.

 Made with a zoom loom.   Tolt Folded Bag pattern.  I need to add a handle.  I've had this WIP for awhile!

Part of a blog post 3/27/2022:

This project, I found in a box.   I won a Zoom Loom and 3 balls of yarn.   Made the squares, and somehow put it away - never put it together.   I think, not sure, that it was a giveaway thru Facebook.  Schacht Spindle Co & Classic Elite Yarns.   My plan was to sew the strips together and fold them into a Tolt Folded Bag.   So I hope to get the 3rd row of squares put together & now that I found the ball of yarn, can sew the 3 rows together.   Fingers crossed this works.

----------------------------------------------

 I found this in my "travel bag".  Met up with friends and put in some of the weaving.  Spinning Star.   A very nice kit - and I switched the kit fiber with Lizbeth fiber.  An excellent to go kit.

Joan Brash kit & instructions.  

Kit includes custom loom, needle, fiber, + four patterns/instructions.  IMO - you need to have on hand:  scissors, tape measure/ruler, scotch tape.   I like to have (nearby) pin cushion, needle threader, stiletto, post-it note, & longer needle.
