Hi All, I've shown my couronnes to DH but I needed to share with a more knowledgeable audience <G>. I've made two lovely couronnes and I'm thrilled with them. I've been using a ring stick which will take a little more getting used to. I'm also going to try the technique in Catherine Barley's book where you take four stitches in the pattern "sandwich" and then go through the stitches around and around and then buttonhole over the threads. The stitches are North, East, South and West if that makes sense. I want some with a smallish hole in the center but about 3/8"(1cm) so the latter method may work better for that. These are for a large B'berg pattern of a Butterfly with Trillium leaves and Fiddlehead ferns. The pattern was shown in a 1904 issue of McCall's magazine. Some of the New England Lace Group may remember that I was working on it last May in Tiverton and it's almost done! I have not been working on it constantly during the last year.
