Don't feel bad. I had to take a long hiatus as well and am now thinking of setting up the bolster and doing an easy pattern of bucks yardage. (never did torchon) I am also going to be rusty though it has only been 3 years since I made my last lace. My hiatus was first prompted by a move that got all my lace stuff scattered in many different boxes. I have finally managed to locate most if not all of my stuff and could start again now. (though admittedly many boxes remain in my basement that need to be unpacked.)

It will be part of a wedding present for my brother. I figured the pattern looked easy and I should have no problems finishing it. Now I am starting to worry. I have only completed one torchon lace piece ever and that was 6 years ago. It's very slow going, and although I think I have the pattern figured out, I still consult the chart in the book often - I can't afford to make a mistake (time-wise). This will be a Sunday-only project, since I have no time to make lace during the week. My boss also just handed me a review to write in my "spare time", which will have to be done on Sundays as well. Also, we leave for the wedding in early July. There are not that many Sundays left! If worst comes to works, I can give them only one heart, or I can make both of them and give it to him for their first wedding anniversary. I would like to finish it though. Other than that, it's nice to be making bobbin lace again - husband was starting to wonder if I would ever get back to it!
