Hi All, Thanks for all the couronne information! I had thought of making them on net (as for Carrickmacross) and cutting the net away but I think I can make them the classic way... maybe...
I have done a little better with the technique in Barley's book. There you take four (or more) stitches in your NL pattern, thread the base thread through them and then cover with buttonhole stitching. I want some fat rings and I frequently end up with a wad of threads in the last quarter. I switched from the #12 Pearl cotton to the thicker crochet cotton and I think I'll go back to the Pearl until I have a little more ability. Going around and around with the base thread does get a little tedious though <G>. I think I am still using too much tension so I'll try to keep paying attention to that. This is why teachers are so important!! Right now DH and I are getting ready to go off for a few days so the rings will have to wait. Actually when I get a chance for some lacing I'm going to do something that I KNOW how to do. I'm getting a tiny bit frustrated! Jane, Lady of the Rings <VBG>.
