Bobbin Lace Class

Pattern:  A Taste of Spiders & Such

c. Karen H. Thompson.

I'm using DMC color 959, No. 8 perle coton.

This charming pattern has trails, triangular ground (new to me), spiders (some new to me), and Scandinavian ground.

Yes, I have a way to go : )

[Pincushion gift from GF Carolyn R.  It is beautiful with beaded tatting around the outside edge.] 

Photo below is a photograph from the cover page of the pattern.

The purpose of the pattern, is to learn some of the techniques to make a bobbin lace scarf.   Really ... a scarf.   If you are on Facebook, you may have seen some photographs of the bobbin lace scarf worn by Karen H Thompson.    So, stay tuned, perhaps a pattern / kit will be available.

These are classes thru the Lace Museum

via zoom.    Virtual Education Opportunities

I used perle coton #8

Color 518.

This session was such a challenge.

I couldn't get the left side done correctly.

After our instructor walked me thru it, pin-by-pin,

there was an 'a ha' moment.   

Hope to finish it soon.   

And the 'future' class projects are so inspiring!

Yes, I just signed up for all of them ; )
