Hi all, Since I am young in my bobbin lacemaking career(5 years), I am unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology like honeycomb. Is there a picture somewhere online that you could show me some of these stitches you have been talking about? I tried a google image search and didn't come up with anything concrete. It would be nice to see examples to associate with the terms like apple blossom filling or brabant ground, etc. I can't say which stitch I like best. Still exploring!!! I am familiar with most basic torchon stitches and have dabbled in Bruges, Milanese, Russian Tape Laces, Honiton. Currently working in Bruges Flower Lace.
And since many of you seem to like the half stitch(I like it as well and have no problem with it), if you want a good HS project to really sink your bobbins into, here is a doily I recently finished from Edna Sutton's book "Bruges Flower Lace": http://tinyurl.com/6mkm7y That is made entirely of HS, minus the fillings and edging. I may have shown this piece on this list before, but thought to mention it again since the HS is being talked about. :) -- Mark, aka Tatman Visit Tatman's Forum of Fun!: http://www.tat-man.net/forumoffun.html Don't miss the other fun stuff on the left column of my homepage! website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://www.tat-man.net/blog - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
