Ricky, winning the competition may be a bit much to ask, but surely not "beyond my capabilities".
The Anna Torchon band I found was a simple design, used 33 pairs of bobbins and 15 g of Nel linen 50/3, plus a pair for gimps and some 15/3 linen gimp. Do the gimp in a different colour, and you've got a multi colour band. 50/3 linen is, according to Brenda's wonderful book, the same as DMC Cordonnet 30 cotton, so it's pretty thick and would make up very quickly. And a gold gimp would really make a statement. As I've said before, I wish I could afford to belong to the IOLI as well as my Australian groups, but it's beyond me. I'm sure the organisers would want as many pieces as possible to make a stunning display. I often enter competitions here in Oz without any chance of winning, just for the fun of it.
