most of the time You can do a whole lot by hitting your spel-chek.
just use it instead of going back several sentences. To work a set of
lace curtains, make sure you use a stiff thread, I bought some
linen thread so I could see how to make it. The thread was a number
three and it knitted up nicely, I used it up to frame the
window. The other thread was a
corded thread about a size eight and I knitted another frame for a
window with curtains. This one was soft and would not hold its shape
when hung as a fabric edging. I hung those by attaching them to the
valenses . The end result was a pattern of black Iron on the balcony.
Hope some of this helps.

g idea and see if it works. If I did tight tatting then if I
starched it and put it up, when I move or if it gets terribly dusty
I could put it in the washing machine and wash out the starch and
dirt and then redo the starch when I get to a new home. I hope I
don't move for at least 5 more years.
I don't want to do traditional lace in the window like lace
curtains. I have that in all the bathrooms and the living room.
This window looks out on the back yard of dogs and sons and
husbands so I thought I could do something different.
I have never tried wire lace so I think I will try heavy cotton and
see what happens. I will take pictures and get back with you.
Please don't expect it next week. I am slower than that.
What weight of cotton thread or string would be best? I like the
idea of rolling the string up and not using a shuttle. Maybe I
could get my husband to carve me a huge shuttle?
Good thoughts.

weeks of heat.
