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. > > Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK > > - > To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: > unsubscribe lace [email protected].
