I call mine a voodoo board, too! The first time I used one, I was doing what I now think was a fairly simple Old Flanders pattern. I couldnât follow the pattern just by looking at it. In fact, even once I had the board I still had problems, because I was so confused that I would get lost during the second or so that it took to move my gaze from the voodoo board to the lace!
Happily it does get easier with practice, and now I donât need the voodoo board nearly so often. Adele West Vancouver, BC (west coast of Canada) > On Sep 13, 2017, at 1:04 PM, N.A.
