Well done, Rebecca.

Remember - Mistakes just prove it is Hand Made, - not made by a machine!!! (Well, that is always My excuse, anyway!!) - and how boring to keep making Perfect Lace!!!!! :)  Mine always has "variety"!!!!!! :)

Keep going with it, - it will improve with practice.  Just enjoy making it, and don't get too hung up on getting perfect work every time.

I am not sure why this didn’t post yesterday but I finished my flower.   Lots of mistakes but the next one will be better.

Well done, Rebecca. That is coming along nicely. Don't get too concerned about tension, - it will soon come automatically!!!  Keep trying different stitches, and you will find the ones you like best, and the ones you find hard to do, etc

 Just enjoy the journey!!.

Hello everyone 

I love lace!  I am just learning how to do this thing called needle lace.  For me the skill of women in the 19th century is something that history has almost forgotten. And man did those ladies LOVE their lace!  I started a little sampler below. I know my tension is off but I do not think it is too bad.

It is easier to insert a needle under a few threads when the background rolls away from you. So the needle is less likely to catch the background.

Please let me clarify myself is there any books that show you how you can connect your motifs and different ground stitches that are used?  Thank you!

Hi Brona, I've just linked into your website and see you have been busy again. As I had hoped, you've done something for Christmas. The bauble is fabulous, crisp and modern and the instructions will be of great assistance to beginners out there.

Everyone else - To see the bauble go to "Sita krajka". This decoration is lovely and as it involves several different stitches, it is ideal for those wanting to expand their abilities. The site is available in English.
