Hello All! No pictures yet, but I'm celebrating a TA DA moment! My spider bookmark pattern became a belt by repeating the 8 different spider motifs 5 times. I still can't believe that I moved the strip several times & lived to tell the tale! Unfortunately after all that practice, I still need to use the directions to make each spider. Which begs the question--is there a point at which spiders become second nature? I can see memorizing one or two, maybe three, but good grief there are lots of spiders out there! Tomorrow I plan to work on trimming stray threads & tidying my finish. Sorry to say, knots were used as I didn't know how to end neatly & the finishes shown in Practical Skills didn't seem to match my circumstances. So I followed the Nike school of lacemaking--Just Do It!! Maybe all will be forgiven when I model the belt on my jeans on Saturday. South Florida Fiber Guild is meeting for a felting workshop, a photo shoot of previously made transfer-dyed silks ! & show & tell. I can hardly wait to see if the results are "as envisioned"!! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL USA
