I've reached the halfway point of the tatted antique wristbag [pdf pattern here]. I'm going to have to deal with all those loose ends soon as they are driving me nuts.
Halfway means (obviously) that one side is complete. I'll keep adding sections in the same manner and it will remain one flat piece until that last section connects to the first. Not so sure when that will be. But, hey! It isn't like there is any real hurry for this. : )
In the meantime I have received my May/June issue of "Piecework".
Let me remind you, it is the LACE issue and it is another outstanding one.
It should be on the newsstands May 1. RUN out and get one.
There is knitted lace, bobbin lace, tatted lace (a bedspread! GASP!), reticella needle lace, Clones crochet lace, a little known, nearly forgotten German hand-knotted lace technique, and several patterns including one by Galina Khmeleva [that's it pictured on the cover].
I've hardly had a chance to look through it but I look forward to spending some quality time with this one.
$6.99 is the single-issue price. An incredible bargain. What a treasure of information!

Sounds like a cup of tea and some quiet time is is order to fully enjoy this issue. The scarf on the cover is beautiful.
Beautiful, as always! I've given up on ever learning that craft!
I received my copy of PieceWork yesterday too, and can't wait to sit and study it, I love that red scarf. It's red!
