Today’s piece is about Advanced decorative triangles and variations. If you’ve been at this a while you may already know; if you’re starting, even better: you’ll save yourself the suffering I went through.
Take your time. Rushing bobbins always backfires. One row at a time, no peeking at others If you fancy, I’ll leave Intermediate mixed lace.
Repeat it three times before deciding you can’t. Finger memory needs its time.
What you will need¶
You’ll need this, nothing more, nothing less:
- Flat pillow.
- Thread of suitable weight.
- Practice pricking.
- Loaded bobbins.
How I do it, step by step¶
Don’t skip any. Everything links in this craft:
- Review the basic crosses before starting.
- Follow the pricking step by step, no skips.
- Keep constant tempo through the piece.
Where it gets sticky¶
These are the stumbles I see most often:
- Changing tempo mid-exercise.
- Not marking the start.
- Pulling too hard on the outer pair.
Variations¶
When you have it under control, try these:
- Combine with other motifs for richness.
- Document your version in the studio notebook.
