The library opens at 10:30 a.m., so please come early to visit with your lace making friends. Please register for this event so we know how many to expect.
After the program, please stay and make lace together. This is an opportunity to share our work in progress and to get help from others. Those who are new(er) to lacemaking and need some coaching or advice will be able to sit with a more experienced lace maker for assistance. Please note, this is not intended to be formal teaching, but a way to help less experienced lacemakers.
Program: Tatting - led by NELG members Bryce Wolf, Carolyn Wetzel and Sharon Sacco
For our program this month we will be looking at continuous tatting, in particular the split chain technique which isn’t often documented. To practice the split chain technique we will use a small beanie motif. Those who want to try this will need two shuttles and light colored thread, preferable a size 10 so it is easier to see. The pattern will be supplied.
Additionally, we will also have beginning instructions for those who are new to tatting, or need to build up their basic skills.
