Hello Jane and everyone Thank you for sharing your 'ring' tips Jane - and congratulations with your new found skill of ring-making ;) I am impressed because it is the same technique, though different working surface for making the "pearls" or "purls" to finish a Rosaline perlee piece - and further impressed because the diagrams in Barley's book will be a useful reference next time I get an inkling to try a Rosaline motif. Using the ring stick is an improvement for me, on the R.p. method of stitching them on paper. The latter has its advantages over the former, for piecework, but for the occasional hobbyist, the ring stick would be more fun (another tool to acquire, yay!) - and I wager it would produce evenly worked rings as opposed to my attempts at working a number of them (unevenly) around basting thread tacked to paper.
Thanks so much for sharing. We shall call you The Lady of the Rings (like Lord of the Rings? get it? - little joke, very little) bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
