That will keep me quiet. Hoping to make a surround for a table cloth and it will take me for ages if I stick with it. If I have too many problems it might get the snip snip. Wish me luck. Lyn

35675Good luck Lyn! I have never done it-but it is beautiful-it's kinda similar to tatted lace-which I never did either-that was my mom's love. Do you wind by hand or do you have a winder? If by hand-happy winding-good workout for the wrists lol. Keep us posted on your progress & don't snip snip-just do it to it! Have fun ~linda~

Tatting, you use a shuttle and not the bobbins, but I am hopeless at tatting. Lyn

LOL-not my work Lyn-I just saw this image somewhere and had to pass it on to you.
As for tatting-my mom used to do that and gave me all her shuttles and bobbins-she also used to do hairpin lace-she me all that stuff along with her steels-but I never got into it-I started out on worsted weight yarn so I really never got into working with crochet cotton-I am too impatient to see results I guess-
Good luck to you tho- linda
20173I do wish you luck - my goodness - I would be buying prewound bobbies for a job that big. I hope you stick with it - whose design will you be using for this table cloth?

I will take a photo of the piece I have just finished but haven't sewn the threads in yet and a few of my bobbins that I have to wind. Lyn
