Hello I made one of Kortelahtis pattern on a flat styrofoam cookie, it was not such a big pattern and I used a 24 inch pillow and that worked like a charm. The pattern is from a book, a cottage in the snow with smoke coming out of the furnace (word?).

I have lined up a couple of large Torchon patterns (if you can call Eva-Lissa Kortelahti patterns Torchon) that I want to do. > > Some Spiders have mentioned that a cookie pillow past a certain size may be difficult or uncomfortable to work on larger pieces. And I have taken that into consideration. > > It seems to me that a rectangular piece on the order of 20-30 inches wide would best be handled on a nice long, large diameter bolster. No moving up, and the working area is right in front of you. Now I just have to make one. Bolsters are not normally found in this size all made up. So it looks like I am going to go into the bolster making business. > > I looked into acquiring an ethafoam cylinder that are used in physical therapy, but the diameters that are available are fairly pricey and not big enough just to throw a cover on and make lace. If I have to pad the roll, I might as well just make it from scratch. So I'll start with a piece of cement form cardboard tube and pad it with old wool blankets. > > Patty Dowden
