Lace Close-Up

Here is a close-up of the lace bookmark (without the pins!!) ;-) as requested by Jenny in the comments in the last post:





I couldn't get the whole bookmark in the picture (which is just as well really as my plait at the end was really awful!). It's honeycomb in the centre, with my version of a fan at the edge (whole stitch with a twist on the outer edge ( I cannot remember if this is an 'official' stitch or not - but it looks ok!).


I've got another week off work this week, so hopefully I can get cracking on some stitching again - it looks as though the weather is going to be right for it!!!

That looks so pretty! I love the little bit of blue going through there! Such a pretty touch! :)

Lovely pic - I do fans like that sometimes too. Great choice for a gimp too, love the way it sparkles. Enjoy your holiday
