Puncettos Progress


I managed to finish my first practice piece - in dishcloth cotton to make it easy for me to see. Lots of mistakes but at least I understand them.


Now I've started another practice piece in a number 20 thread - still thick but less so. I'm still trying to get the hang of the tension as you can see. I am fascinated by the fact that a series of knots comes out looking like a woven fabric - it feels like magic. I can see this craft is going to become another obsession!


And here is Sunny - hasn't she matured, even in a week! She had bounced around so much that she fell asleep on the window-sill. My husband says wouldn't it revolutionise the world if we could get the amount of energy out of a battery that a kitten can get out of a small tin of boiled chicken!

  1. How daft of me I did not realise Sunny was a girl, she is beautiful and yes she has really matured in a week she looks more distinguished. I guess we are seeing the nice cute sleepy pictures shame you can't video her boinking around. Your Puncettos look very interesting :)

  2. You got me curious about puncetto and I've been looking around the web for information and tutorials. It seems rather obscure compared to other kinds of lace. I like that you don't need anything other than needle and thread.
