I am way behind with my emails as I was in Laguna Beach, California on a business trip this weekend. I was working on my needlelace on the patio outside our fancy hotel, when film producer, George Lucas walked by. Unfortunately just as he got near me, his attention was drawn, by his companion, to the cabana's nearby which had big flat screened tv's, so I didn't get to make eye contact. I also missed seeing Cuba Gooding Jr, Lyn Swan (US footballer), and Diana Ross. She was singing at the fundraiser being held last Saturday evening.
Anyway, in my absence, my DD has put the Halloween cat on my website, link below. This pattern was on the IOLI cd handed out to charter lace guild chapters. I am putting it up as it is appropriate for the season, but also as an advert to get US lace guilds to charter with IOLI. There are some perks in being chartered. The pattern looks large, but is the correct size as I used it on a tote bag, covering up a design I did not want. You could make it smaller and still use the Gutterman 100/3, or make it the same size with a slightly thicker thread. I thought the 100/3 was a little fine for the piece but I did not have time to remake it.
