Swathed in stitch 12 - scrim lace, french knots etc.








I'm adding french knots and the occasional bead to my scrim lace. I'm using a mixture of white and hand-dyed fine embroidery threads. It's reasonably straight forward, but time consuming, so it'll take a while for me to finish.




The last three photos are of my net fme lace. I've added buttonhole lace around a couple more holes and started to add the off bullion loop. This piece will be another slow burner, taking time to complete, so it's a good job that I haven't a completion deadline for both of these pieces!

  1. I hope by now these pieces have reached completion. I especially like the lace you made from netting. That was really ingenious. You are really good at hand stitching, and seem to have a TON of patience, too.

    Thanks for joining us with your second look on the 2nd. This was a beautiful and informative post.
