I've finally finished my version of the Willow Pattern Plate designed by
Jean Stacey (named 'Inspiration on a Plate' by her) which was featured in UK
Lace Guild Magazine 'Lace' edition 128, October 2007 and have just uploaded
to my Arachne Webshots album (Jean Nathan on the second page). The finished
size is just short of A4.
There were no threads or instructions give, just a small picture of Jean's
finished lace and an outline pattern. I decided to make it in blue - a light
blue for the motifs with a double thread in navy to outline them and pick
out some detail and white for the background to make it as much like a
willow pattern plate as possible. I used Venus crochet thread and decided
how to make variations in the stitches for the elements as I went.
Must say that I found it very fiddly, especially finishing off each motif,
and don't think I'll tackle anything like that again - I'll stick to
continuous lace.
