It seemed like a good idea at the time !!

Great idea, have a giveaway, hand made bobbin lace book mark! Yes!!!!............err maybe slightly damaged handmade bobbin lace bookmark.
Moving the pillow, I trapped one of the bobbins, didn't realise until the thread snapped. So I now have the option of replacing the thread or giving up on this piece. grrrrr.
bobbin lace

Anyway, the idea is to have a giveaway next month to celebrate 16 month blogging and 315 ish posts so watch this space.
Hope you all had a great weekend.

It looks so beautiful too. No rescue possible, I suppose?

Oh, that takes me back! I used to do lace making years and years ago, when I was quite young really. Is it Torchon lace? It looks lovely. I'm sure you'll be able to rescue it.xx

how unfortunate - however I feel sure you will come up with the right answer Sue - mending mistakes and problems like these are incredible learning exercises in all kinds of weaving (don't ask how I know!) - but I find usually working out what to do is the hardest part.
