[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hairpin lace

Tue Oct 20 18:17:06 UTC 2009

Joy, That was hard to put into words, wasn't it.  You did a good job.    On 
the chat last night we were discussing another type of lace that used a fine 
thread to make.  People should know that hairpin lace uses regular yarn   I 
think it looks a little like a cable knit.and the finished item is hefty and 
not at all lacelike.
