[lace] making a roller

Hi I am making a roller pillow as the ones I have are not wide enough. I have started with a swim noodle and added extensions of the same kind to make it thicker. But I need to make it even thicker! What is the best way to do? I have a lot of the elastic ribbon kind you can use on a sprained

[lace] Floral torchon

I've been doing my own version of floral torchon with Australian Wildflowers - wattle, gum leaves, boronia, sturt's desert pea - for some years. I've been using Buck's Techniques in Torchon lace to get the more flowing lines of bucks but in Torchon - using gimps and added pairs, and careful use of

Re: [lace] Kortelahti prickings

Thanks to everyone for your help with locating the prickings but after looking again at the picture and getting out a tape measure and realising how big it is (centimetres just don't mean anything to me - must be my age) I've decided not to attempt it. I know I could reduce it in size but I think

Re: [lace] making a roller

Dear Ann-Marie, I have made roller (bolster) pillows for my lace class, and Friend Husband made table-top frames for them to sit in. I went to the local carpet shop and got the rollers the carpets come rolled on. They are made of *heavy* stock about 1/2 inch thick, 4 to 6 inch diameter, and

[lace] Torchon water lily

Yes, I,ve worked the aforementioned torchon water lily. I think I bought the pattern from Linda Fountain, but several suppliers stock it. I made mine in pink Pipers silk and was very pleased with it, but dont attempt it if you are a beginner! I don't think I managed a single repeat without

Re: [lace] making a roller

Thank you for your suggestions about rollers. This is not a bolster I am going to make, just a roller to put on top of my Christina pillow as I am going to make a scarf from the latest danish Kniplemagasinet and the roller for the Christina pillow was just that not wide enough. I never thought

Hello all. ..I'd just like to thank everyone (especially Jane and Christine) for organising a terrific day at Clay Cross Adult Ed Centre last weekend. There were many lace making and bobbin making suppliers in attendance and I think a great time was had by all. I for one

Clay and Elizabeth, I have a few Floral Torchon patterns by Geraldine Stott. None of them require the addition of extra pairs during working...whereas Torchon traditionally is made up of geometric shapes, these are basically flowers drawn on the Torchon grid. To my eye, used to working Bucks,

Even though I no longer do the bobbin lace, I have enjoyed keeping on buying some of the different continentals. I always preferred them to the Midlands. I know a lot of people moan about them untwisting the threads, but the best way to stop that is to work the bobbins as you come to them and
