I am enjoying making this strip of crochet lace edging. Even though it involves using the teeny-weeny hook it is very relaxing and quite pleasing to see it grow and develop. I did start the same pattern a little while ago using black thread but I didn't like the feel and look of the thread, so I have changed to a white thread - much better. The finished piece, about 1.5 metres long, is going to edge the bottom of a plain white roller blind. (Click on photo for a detailed look at the stitches).
This is the book where the inspiration came from. The pattern I am using is suggested for edging a towel (which would be really nice) and there are lots of other very pretty projects in this book. I would love to get my hands on an antique plain linen sheet/bedcover and make the edging for that.

Oh wow nita, that is incredibly fine!! My great aunt used to do tatting with a bobbin which produced a similar effect. How long has it taken you to do that much so far? You have more patience than I have, I suspect. But at least you will get to admire your handiwork daily when it is done!
Actually, although it is indeed fine crochet work, it works up quite quickly. I suppose that piece has taken about a week to do, just picking it up as and when. I must admit I do feel pleased when I make someting for the home that is not only beautiful, but unique to me. It is finished now and I am negotiating how to attach it to the blind so it looks nice. I will take piccies of the finished job
You are so clever, it is beautiful :)
