I've been learning to do Torchon lace using continental bobbins as there are a large number of differently shaped continentals included in the lace supplies I purchased as a lot. There were also quite a number of bobbins that needed spangling so I've been working on getting all of them spangled. The bobbins that needed spangling [dating back the to 1980s at least] are much "chunkier" than the few pairs of thin, spangled midlands that were included in the supplies.
I decided to try the spangled bobbins to make another bookmark that I was having trouble getting right when using the continental bobbins. By switching to pairs of spangled bobbins I've found it much easier to keep track of the bobbins and the pattern without counting etc. I'm wondering which type of bobbins are the most popular for Torchon. Admittingly, the spangled bobbins make the pillow look most attractive. Darlene Mulholland www.darlenem.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
