What is your favourite lace pattern out of the ones you have worked,
(whether your own design or one that has been published) and which
pattern/type of lace have you found most challenging?
It's difficult to decide which one is favourite, but have recently made
some russian tape lace from the book 'Motieven in kleur' by Sebastiana
Van Den Herik. I have made the sailing ship and the hat on a stand which
I think is fab - I used purple and yellow threads and mounted it on
black to show the colours. I also love to make patterns by Eeva-Liisa
Kortelahti and have made the lacemaker, some of her large table centres
and pictures of a VW car and a Mini. I'm waiting for hubby to post more
of them on our family website ( www.acsandj.co.uk) and hope they join
the others very soon..
Type of lace most challenging has been a return try at Honiton - was a
nightmare - trying to use a needlepin instead of small crotchet hook
plus the pattern size, and also tatting - tried for a whole afternoon
and only managed 2 inches of hitches so decided to stick to either a
crochet hook or some bobbins. might try again one day but...........
