Re: [lace] Bobbin Lace Survey

RE: [lace] Bobbin Lace Survey

Hi All, Tallies of all types are difficult for me - more a mental block I expect. I did Torchon Lace by correspondence originally about 20+ years ago and have a nicely worked yellow (Perle 8) sample, various shapes. I obviously did them OK for that, but have found the possibility of having to

Hello everyone Thanks so much for the replies about block pillows and your experiences making bobbin lace scarves on them - or on something else g. I was wondering about it at the time, and now I'm not - lots to think about for the next project ! :) -- Bev (near Sooke, BC on beautiful
