Ilske Thomsen has again given a gift to all our lace makers: two patterns for
Christmas cards made with grounds. http://lynxlace.com/christmastree.html
A simple idea but very pretty.

A google search for crochet cotton 20 immediately brings up lots of
places. Also many craft shops and probably even Hobbycraft will stock this

An old Swedish pillow I saw many years ago had this saw-toothed
feature. This enabled one to move the pillow very slightly and the
whole was kept in position with a piece of wood rather like a tongue
depresser.

Dear Lacefriends,
what are your experiences with three dimensional lace-works, done in a light
sort of stitch. For example a cube with about 12 x 12 x 12 cm.

Hello Ilske and everyone
You are right, the wire thread doesn't always help as a support. I
coated the lace liberally with fabric stiffener, and before it dried,

I wouldn't have thought netting shuttle at first, with a pinched

I am going with a netting shuttle even though I can not find a similar one
in any of my books.
Netting shuttles come in all shapes and sizes depending upon the amount of
string (whatever) needs to be curled up on the bobbin, the fineness of the
net being made and finally, as I think possible
