[Nfb-krafters-korner] hairpin lace class

[eileen SCRIVANI]

Carol:

In the words of Sergeant Shultz from Hogan's Heroes, "I know nothing ..." 
However, I was just looking on www.youtube.com for info on hairpin lace and 
while the instructions are difficult to follow along with, one or two of the 
videos I came across talked about a hairpin lace "tool" which sounds like 
nothing more than the looms we're using.  The difference is that the tool 
has eyelets at the ends in the pins and the woman giving the demo talked 
about using "guide" yarn that gets threaded through the eyelets and at the 
end makes it easier to do what ever gets done next.  The loom I have does 
not have the eyelets.  I'm not sure, but think its a Clover product that 
makes them with eyelets for threading guide yarn.  The loom I bought was a 
Susan Bates brand.

HTH.
