Hello Sof, when I saw the topic above in the discussion I thought immediately on you and your doll as you introduced it to me before the OIDFA congress in Caen. And when we meet there I told you that I don't think the tour Eiffel is a doll, do you remember ;-))) But it's a big and lovely work.

I used 40/2 linen from Webs http://www.yarn.com/ It's more of a weaving yarn than for lace, but it worked. I wove a piece of cloth with it for another runner that I made the lace edge from the same linen. http://www.flickr.com/photos/warpedandwonderful/8311368508/in/photostream/lightbox/

This is quite beautiful Vila. While on Flickr, I took the opportunity to look at your other photos of your lace and weaving too. It is all quite inspiring. Janis in South Africa On 2014/01/14 04:37 PM, Vila Cox wrote: This is my most challenging lace project so far.

Sherry, I am curious as to what people have made out there in Lacingland that you would call the ultimate piece of lace you have ever made or felt good about when finished. Mine would have to be the large edging in Toender which I made a few years ago. The pricking was very skew-whiff and

David, have you not trained the cat? My most challenging piece is still on the pillow: Wisteria Hankie Edging. It is a Bedfordshire pattern which was trued up by Christine Springett, and I started it on her course last May. Since then it has been sitting there, and I stare at it, and think: one

Hi All, I find Torchon a suitable area to focus on with a little Bucks but have a collection of Eevaa-Liisa's pictures and edgings. Made, in 4 months, The Crucifixion for my Dad's 80th (he will be 91 this year) and there were a few components. Firstly, my friend's husband made a square base -

The biggest piece I have done as in the most bobbins is still under wraps at the moment.    The biggest piece size-wise would have to be the 160 cm long scarf I completed last year in Thai silk from one of the Dutch books...cannot put my hands on it right now.    The most difficult piece was a
