Dear Arachneans I've been lurking too long and its getting on for 2 years since I asked you all for advice about how much Bucks Point knowledge I needed in order to complete a picture of 2 bunnies . I'm pleased to say that I have now completed the project. It's taken a long, long time as I have never attempted Bucks before and I had to do 5 different samples of Bucks and the real pattern a larger size before I felt confident enough to start the real thing.
It's not perfect, but I'm really pleased with it, and as the friend I made it for is not a lacemaker I don't think that anyone apart from me will notice the imperfections. Apart from not being familiar with Bucks I had never worked with so many bobbins or such fine thread before. I'm pretty pleased with myself and just want to thank you all for your advice and encouragement. It does mean that I've fallen in love with Bucks Point and am continuing to try and learn the techniques and sadly I have abandoned Beds lace for the time being. So much lace, so little time!
