Agreed, and the central chain could be made either by poking a finger

Just before christmas I needed a project I could do sitting in my chair
without access to my lace pillow to keep my hands occupied while my daughter
was visiting, so I decided to take up my knitting needles again to knit myself
a cardigan. The first time for any kind of knitting in about 15
Today on opening a parcel of 8 beautiful antique bobbins that I had won on
Ebay for a very small amount of money and was busy feeling the lovely
smoothness of the patina DH remarked whatever do you want those old things
for, you must have hundreds better than that??? what could I say?

My wife and I have been avid watchers of this series. We are
costumers as well and always looking for inspiration. Of course I am
always on the look out for lace or lace references with these type of
programs. Thanks, Jeanette,for posting that hilarious exerpt from

I concur with Patty, as it is hairpin lace principled, appearing that you wrap
the hairpin bars/tool, and then crochet chain up the middle of it, connecting
all, and then slide it off. It would go very fast, and fun with loads of
colors and textures, etc. Here is a link showing traditional
So glad you posted the story of kitty's lace coming up, rather than the other
way! Has anyone tried the loopa technique with a lucet? Just a thought if one
already owns one. Susan, waiting for the daily procession of the manatees

Does anyone know if there is a dvd of bobbin lace which clearly shows how to
work a start and an end of a piece in a scroll. I have the hummingbird by
Louise Colgan where the scroll is worked in the middle of a piece and hace
worked that one, but I have been unable to make an acceptable job of
I believe that Louise Colgan has a DVD which actually features the
hummingbird pattern. You might check with your lace suppliers to see if
they have it in stock.

Yes that is the one I have and have actually followed and worked and isn't
bad, I have it on my website and gave it to my Mother. One part at a time
learning as I went, but it has a scroll in the middle of the pattern after
all the threads are already working in the piece.

Hello all--
There was a wonderful interview with the producer of Cranford on Bob Edwards
Weekend show (many of us in the US know him from his days at National Public
Radio). See the article about the interview here--it's in the second hour.
Well-done, Brenda! It looks like a fast and easy way to make a scarf
and I have a large hairpin fork buried somewhere in a craft drawer.
I picked up a couple tips about ways to deal with the braid when it
gets too long for the hairpin. If you're working long strips, the ends
