Yes, I made a scarf on a large Flemish pillow. Two blocks one 30 X 20 and the other 30 X 10 cm. A Jane Atkinson Torchon pattern from one of the first Lace express magazines.
I used large continental bobbins and some selfmade from sticks with beads glued on. 58 pairs in total. I had no problems working the lace or with the mixture of bobbins.

I set up a pattern on my block pillow and soon moved it to a large bolster. However it is not a straightforward pattern and it continues to hang in place, a long term work in progress (waah) - I'm wondering if I'm mad to think of starting another on the block pillow again (answer - of course I am - but the pattern will be more like a huge bookmark than the one that has stalled, which has a zigzag configuration) - maybe I should use different bobbins. If you have made a bobbin lace scarf, what type of bobbins did you use? and if on a block pillow was it one with wide blocks, necessarily? -- Bev (near Sooke, BC on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message (and attachments) is subject to restrictions and a disclaimer.
