[lace] What do you do ....
What do you do with your prickings? I have been making lace since 1 April 2005 and have held on to all the prickings since then, including the ones I have prepared but not used. The pile is getting rather unwieldy now.

Re: [lace] What do you do ....
Hello Jenny I used to do that, then realised that, apart from the tiny 'bookmarks' I use for trying out different threads, I was very unlikely to use a pricking again so I threw them away. Proper card ones went into the re-cycling bin but those with blue film on had to go into the general rubbish. I still have all the paper copies, either in my own folders or in books.

What do you do with used prickings? If you belong to a group or class, try passing them to others (depending on their condition, of course). Especially beginners may be very grateful.

Dear Jenny, What do you do with your prickings? I have been making lace since 1 April 2005 and have held on to all the prickings since then, including the ones I have prepared but not used. The pile is getting rather unwieldy now. I have a drawer full of them - all signed and dated and threads named. Then when I'm going away for a month or so, I go through and pick out various smaller favourites to take with me.

I keep them in files, labeled by subject: general, bookmarks, Christmas, etc. Or if the 'original' is filed in a notebook, it goes back with the master copy.

Re: [lace] What do you do ....
I don't have any that I 'store' any more. I kept everything over ten years, but never went into the bulging files, drawers, boxes and binders. It was freedom to toss the lot. I found I don't reuse a pricking if I've put it away. I'd just as soon make another photocopy of the original, from my library. I work exclusively from a newly done photocopy glued to card and I work the pattern as I go, that is the pins do the pricking. If I'm going to reuse the pricking, it will be right away, sometimes as many times as the pattern can stand until it is in shreds. Like Kate, I will go ahead and prepare a design to work, for the meditative exercise: I won't prick the pattern, but I'll make a photocopy (scan and print with home computer that is), glue it to card, find a matte covering if it will need it, trim it and stare at it for a long time to appreciate the lacemaking, such as one might read sheet music and play the tune silently :) On Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 12:56 AM, Jenny Brandis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What do you do with your prickings?
