We  had several successful 'Thread Lace' projects in October.

Pat Haden is checking out Shirley Reznik's Thread Lace Table Runner.

Close up of the Thread Lace Table Runner.  Cotton yarn was used for this project.

Shirley Birkey used the Thread Lace Book published by Charlene Shafer to create this 'Snowflake Thread Lace' afghan.  Sport 2/7 is the primary yarn and one strand of 2/24 was used for the 'thread'.

Shirley Birkey is showing Linda Carney how to latch her 'Thread Lace' panels together to finish her afghan.

Pam took a pre-loaded 'Thread Lace' pattern in the Brother 970 and knitted a baby sweater.  Two strands of 2/24 were used for the main yarn and serger thread was used for the thread.
