Well it has been a while since I last posted. July was busy with preparations for Pennsic (the SCA camping event in Western Pennsylvania, http://www.pennsicwar.org/). I was setting up a camp for our Barony for the first time this year. It was both the first time our Barony had its own camp, and the first time I had ever done landgrab. It was an interesting experience. I am looking forward to doing it again next year....but anyway. It makes for a busy July and August.
While at Pennsic I had a chance to talk to a lacemaker about how I was doing with my pieces. She recommended that I try doing the set of exercises from Cook's book "The torchon Lace Workbook". In my usual all or nothing style, I immediately came home and did the first 7 lessons. Therefore I have 9 new pieces of lace for the 50 challenge. The picture shows 8 pieces from the series of lessons. I will admit I ran through the earlier ones pretty quickly and did not even bother to finish them. The full length multicolored one were slightly more advanced and therefore fun so I finished them up. The other piece I have started is from "Onder de Loep". The third piece in that book. I plan on putting it between the lacis pieces on a table runner. the lion I started will be one of the three panels.
