Hello Lacefriends,
There is nothing about lacemaking I can say I hate it but some things
like
1) Winding bobbins
sometimes I find boring and sometimes I became unpatient but it belongs
to the whole thing so I have to do it. Often I think it would be nice
if somebody else would do it for me but to be honest I would trust that
this person did it "good" enough, you undestand?
The next point
2) Final sewing together
if I am unpatient I let my fingers from it for not disturb the work.
But what do if I am in hurry. And in the whole I think the finishing is
a very important part and I should do it as properly as possible but we
all know......
3) Tallies (leaves, squares, triangles, any other type)
The very first time of my lacemaking time I didn't like them much and i
need some time to find "my way" to do them. But after my first
Bedfordshire collar I thought - oh they aren't as difficult as i
thought - But having not done them a longer time it could be that I
have the feeling it would be again for the first time. And I know they
couldn't still be nicer. For me the moon-shape ones are the most
difficult. I remember I once in a exhibition I heard a lady say to her
friend - on a tallie you can see in which psychological situation the
person is or was. And if I am very nervous i stop working tallies
because I know they will all become monster-shaped.
Another thing I sometimes think it would be nice if somebody else would
do it for me is to pull out all those pins at the end of my work. But
sometimes this is a nice time to think about this and that.
I nevver fill my pin-cushion with pins i lay them near my right hand
ont the table or on the pillow itself.
What I hate is having not enough time to do lace.
