I'm just learning how to make bobbin lace, and while I've purchased enough square bobbins to work with until I get the nerve to try a big project, I am curious about how you whittled the chopstick bobbins. Did you work with the larger end and cut off the narrow end? I'd be curious to see the pictures you mentioned. I'm fascinated!

They were the first bobbins I owned and were wittled from those cheap wooden Chinese chopsticks given to me by the parents of a piano student who owned the Tai Hung Tol Restaurant in Darwin. They're pretty rough but even today I love to use them for gimps as they don't roll (having square sides!) >> >> David in Ballarat > - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
