>Yesterday I visited the annual “Lace Day” of the Metro Chapter of the International Old Lacers<\/a>. They have a course of study to learn Torchon lace which I started last year. I made the first pattern which is so simple it’s embarrassing<\/span>! Even though there was not a course for the second pattern, the President of the group very patiently helped me set up that pattern and get started. It’s a lot <\/span>more challenging than the first exercise!
<\/span>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>This is not quite the pattern I’m doing, but it’s simlar. The scallop edge that I’m doing is an oblique interlacement, whereas here it’s vertical and horizontal, like regular weaving. I have very little “background” netting, and my sewing edge is also narrower than this. If I get proficient at this pattern I would love to make handkerchief edging. I’d have to learn how to turn corners.<\/p>\n

I’m completely weak in the knees for lace hankies! How awesome to gain the skills to make one!<\/p>\n

This afternoon I planted my garlic, total wishful thinking for next year! My garlic never grows into the large bulbs I get at the farmers’ market, but I’m forever hopeful that my garlic ship will come in next year! Most likely it doesn’t get enough sun where I plant it. Today I put the bulbs in a garden that a family of woodchucks has enjoyed all summer. I’m hoping the garlic is too smelly for them, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see. My weld is there, and they haven’t touched that. Absolutely nothing else has survived there!
