Filet roses

new large filet lace I am making

I borrowed a book from a friend JoDee that had this lace pattern in it.  The original pattern said to use size 20 thread I wanted big hugh lace not small dainty a shocker for me.  So I got out my antique ....
for size refferenceBedspread weight thread and a 6 1/2 inch tall pattern became 13 inches tall.  Haven't decided if it is the bottom of a sweater , skirt yet or something else I am leaning toward sweater to go all the way around me I need 4 roses repeats  i have 1 1/2 done.

  2. Love It! It's turning out beautiful. Funny, that's the same pattern I started, except I only have 2 inches to show for it... Glad you're getting use of the book. Cheers!
