What lace projects are you working on?
1) Pattern for the next (October) issue of the IOLI Bulletin; earrings. The sample in wire came out OK, so am now trying to see if the same pricking can be used for metallic thread (it can, but with modifications to the working method, number of pairs etc. Sigh. One pricking, but *two* sets of instructions, blast it).
Trying to put in a few stitches into the Liers Butterfly every day, so as not to forget the few things I learnt with such effort :) One of the cotter pins holding the frame in place seems to have disapperaed - no wonder the tulle was beginning to sag lengthwise and making th chain stitch progressively more difficult... A screw is temporarily holding that end, and cotter pins are on the list for the next trip to WalMart...
And I'm scribbling, scribling, scribbling - something I hate more than either pre-pricking or winding, but as inescapable. Once the scribbling is done, I'll be cutting, cutting, cutting - Debra is always reluctant to trim my "deathless prose" back to manageable proportions... :)
Deadline is Aug 15, so I have about 10 days to get rid of the beast on my back. Then I'll go back to doodling with Rosalibre; bliss... :)
