Needle and thread

Today I was in the mood to practice needle lace. All it takes is a needle and thread.


I'm still making lots of mistakes, but I'm learning. The yellow flower only has four petals because I snipped a thread when I shouldn't have. Rather than be discouraged, I started another flower in red.


This is my best effort so far. There are still mistakes, but I can tell I'm improving.


Feeling confident, I started a fourth flower. Once again, I goofed. I skipped the second loop, so there wasn't a place for the fifth petal. Oh, well. Maybe the next one will be better!

  2. They look pretty to me!! :)
    You could put the white one under the red or yellow off-set and make a double layered flower! ;)
