I'm with you, Ilske! I am excited when a new project starts, hate the long
middle part when I have become familiar with it, like the end as I am
looking forward to seeing it finished, and from the middle part on while
working on the lace I am looking forward to the next project and planning
I would use a combination of adding in new thread, and twisting out my
worker with a passive.
Put lots of thread on to the worker and the two outside pairs of the cloth
stitch area, and use cttc to swap the workers for passives, when needed. If
you tension carefully this is hardly noticeable.
I have never used Fibre Optic cable for lacemaking, because as far as I know
it doesn't light up along it's length but only at its tip - so, for example,
you would only see the lights at the ends of the fringe of a bookmark. I'd
love to know that I am wrong, because I really fancy seeing lace
