According to the book, there is section 1 and section 2, with separate bobbin counts, so they are worked separately. If you look at the small triangle of pricking (of section 2) at the bottom of the page - 1/6th of the centre - along the bottom edge there are a partly drawn on row of dots

Dear Spiders, I need your help. I want to make the center piece on page86 (leinikkipelto) in the book Let's make bobbin lace by Eva-Lisa Kortelahti. The pattern has two parts which, as far as I understand are worked separately but yet one part is joined to the other part in some stage of

Hi Miriam, I would say you have to work it all in one. First you have to join section 1 and 2 (to form one triangle of the hexagon) and make 6 copies of this triangle. Once you join the 6 parts, you get the complete pattern. If you look at the picture of the finished lace, you don't see a joining

Hi Vicki and lace list The squiggly line on E-L's patterns means twists - if you look at the photograph, there are twists in some of those half-stitch areas, and no twists in one of them. Leave them out if you'd rather. It also looks like the end bit of those h/s areas is done in CTC, to keep the
