Hello All! Best laid plans are gone awry again. My new (to me) pillow & bobbins seemed like good candidates for a library demo. It's cute as a bugs ear & I've posted a pic to Flickr. So with spangles in order, gingham on the roller & stretchy gold ribbon ready to manage the bobbins for traveling, you might think that I'd be set to make lace. Au contraire! My plan for making Skansk hit a major snag when I realized all of my patterns require more than six pair. A quick Google brought up Jean Leader's articles, Lorelei's test strips & Jo Edkin's ribbons. With such a tiny pillow, I'm reluctant to add my beaded Mechlin bobbins to the mix, but six pair lace options are less appealing. The pillow needs something cute & petite! Have I missed any attractive six pair resources that may be worked freehand? If I add pairs, the Skansk pattern "beans" requires 11 pair. How do I understand the pros & cons? Suggestions? Regarding my recent Power Point quandary, many thanks to ! all who wrote with help & suggestions. Apparently my computer & I are older than I thought--my trial version of PP (MS Office 2007) expired in 2009! Hoping for a reply from IOLI shortly. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, on vacation with lots of pillows, bobbins & threads but too few books!
