Hi Sue, I was nervous but the first hour was spent with me making lace while the cameraman filmed from all angles, including looking down over the upstairs balcony. At one time he had the heavy camera resting on my pillow. That must have been when he took the shots up close so it looked like a forest of pins. I made almost one repeat of the pattern, complete with a mistake. I left out an extra pair for the half stitch center but did not see it until I started that section. It was too late to turn back which I normally do when demonstrating. So I had to take in an extra pair at the bottom of the half stitch. I decided to leave the mistake so that I will know which repeat I did on tv. After all that time, I was feeling more at ease for the interview part. I cringe every time I see the missed pin and when I also say I "wrap the thread around it", instead of saying I close the pin with a stitch, but I did not get a do-over like the interviewer.
Elizabeth, the pattern is from La guipure du Puy written by Mick Fouriscot and Nathalie Hubert, page 44, Guipure No. 16. ISBN 2-84167-155-0 It is written in french but has excellent photos and diagrams, 30 edgings and ideas for mounting them. One friend questioned how many demonstration hours I can count my 2 minutes times millions of viewers for IOLI. Members are supposed to keep track of how much they demonstrate and turn them in each year. Maybe a mathematician can work that out for me. :-) There were also shots on tv of me making lace at least 5 times to advertise the upcoming news.
