1) Winding bobbins
If there are a lot to wind it's relaxation time and I'm usually
watching TV as well. Or there may be lots of colours and textures and
putting them all together and winding as I go is part of the fun.
2) Final sewing together
That's the best bit, almost finished! Always make the join if you have
one whilst the lace is still on the pillow - much less likely to pull
it out of shape.
3) Tallies (leaves, squares, triangles, any other type)
Get stuck in and work a pattern with LOTS of tallies, and by the end
you'll be able to make them without pulling your hair out and they
won't be a big deal any longer
For me the bit I dislike is making a proper pricking on card, tedious
and hard on the fingers (apply the plaster before you get a blister!).
For yardage lace it has to be done but for one-offs I use plastic film
over the pattern which, with a good pillow, I find is quite adequate.
