Hello Jean
I'm just starting the sunflower from Eva Kortelahti's book "Bobbin
Lace with Paper Strings". Has anyone worked something from this book?
No, but it's on my list to have a go one day, so Ill be interested in
anyone else's experiences.
It appears that the lace is worked from the right side - the pricking
isn't a mirror of the finished lace, (unless the photo of the finished
pieces has been mirrored). It makes sense to work from the right side
because it would easier to leave the ends of the paper strings laying
on top of the work than try and slide them through to the wrong side.
The accompanying illustration also suggests that the strings are laid
on top.
That results in a problem - finishing. If the threads are just trapped
and cut off, that isn't a problem, but if they're knotted it means
they have to be taken through to the underside for knotting. How?
Do you mean the regular threads or the paper string?
