Bev, your garter lace looks very good and it does feel good when you can say
its finished:-) Took another look at your blog, really good.
There were a number of people working on long strips, how have they all come
together?
My garter lace was done in 2 sections to be sewn on to ribbon (as per some
very brief instruction from my lace teacher before she retired). The
wedding was postponed until next year so I haven't done anymore on it,
decided to leave it for another day. Not sure how it will come together
yet.
I would like to ask you and any of the ladies how they manage with your
style, threading ribbon and elastic through. Not that bit, but the trial I
did once just couldn't get the ribbon to work and look as I wanted it to
when gathered to the right amount of gathered tension, hense the reason for
trying the other way. Any any advice or comments would be welcome on this.
Hi everyone
After weeks (or so it seems) of the lace hovering at the 87 cm. mark I
put in a few pins since returning from the Pacific conference,
measured this morning and realized I only had two pattern repeats to
go. Today was also one of the warmest of the year, and I took the lace
operation out doors. Indeed it was nearly too hot to lace, as the day
wore on. I then wondered if it would matter a whole lot if the length
wasn't exactly a metre. It was too tempting to cut it off. I
compromised and worked to a logical stopping point, along a horizontal
row, and *then* cut it off. V. satisfying :)
Now I'm going to work a small motif on a small pillow that requires
just 6 pairs and can be completed in an afternoon :))
Thank you to everyone who offered company in working on lengthy laces,
too - I hope others have reached their goal?
I posted about the garter at my blog, addy below.
