Hi
I just started on an 80cm Bucks Point edging.
As the pattern was around 18cm long, I photocopied it several times,
stuck 4 length together
(ensuring proper lining up) and then started the pattern about halfway
down the top of the topmost of the three
blocks.
The long length of the pattern was then pinned to all three blocks and
the surplus draped around the bottom
block and underneath in the hope that I can just slide the blocks up as
necessary with the pattern
attached, without having to lift and move the lace. As the length grows,
and the top block needs
removing, I aim to pin the finished lace over and underneath the top block.
My lace teacher thinks I am mad, but I hope to prove her wrong and will
keep you all informed
(may be a while as I am also still woring on my Beds butterfly). There
is always the option of getting more blocks,
which I may well do when I go to Pudsey lace fair in October.
If it doesn't work, I may let you know too or eat humble pie instead.
