[lace] LOKK free pattern

2012-01-07 Thread Whitham, Irene Steve
The free pattern on the LOKK website has me intriqued,

 

I have done a computer translation and it's not clear how to make this.

 

Is there anyone that has made this Halssieraad, that would be willing to
explain how it's done?

Hi Arachnids,

If you look under the pattern there is a short description in Dutch. It 
reads;-


DOWNLOAD THE PATTERN IN PDF FORMAT

Materials;-
1 round shoe lace 45 to 65 cm long
bead with large hole
worker (or weaver) pair in DMC fil a Dentelle 80 of 6xthe length of the shoe 
lace

10 to 20 pairs of passives, depending on the thickness of the shoe lace.
   Half of these should be thick thread i.e. Madeira Glamour; Decor 
(dubbled up); or Gold Rush.
   The othe half in thin threads such as ;Venne Creafil; Madeira 
Metallic; DMC Fil a Dentelle 80; Supertwist


METHOD;

Hang the bobbins in pairs on 1 pin. Pin the shoe lace in place with a strong 
pin -leave this pin as long as possible-. Pins are placed on the left only, 
about 0.5 cm (just under quarter inch) apart. Use strips of squared paper 
(maths paper) for pricking.


Work in whole stitch from left to right.  Keep the shoe lace on top of the 
work.


Lay the worker over the work to the left. Pin up between pair 1 (worker) and 
2 on (the left) and whole stitch again from left to right.


The pins are pushed down a.s.a.p. and the right hand pair is regularly 
pulled a little to the left.


Repeat until the desired length is worked. The push the bead onto the cord. 
Fasten the ends together, if required with a fastener (literally a small 
lock). (you could also use a hook  eye or a small button  loop, but it 
does not say that).



I hope that my little translation will help you.

Happy lace making,

Joepie in East Sussex, UK
