Bobbins, shuttles and a cat...

Here is James, offering to help with my gold lace braid.
 And this is the aforementioned braid.
And here is a bit of land of lace's heart doily round one. Let me just say that it's a pattern that is quite a brain teaser, and I have done a lot of unpicking and re-tatting...and I am still only on the third repeat!

Both are very pretty! Imagine how much we could finish if we didn't have to pick out our mistakes!

Three great photos! Cats just love to be 'helpful'! That gold lace is fantastic! I don't think I've ever seen our bobbin lacers use gold thread! And that tatted heart doily is stunning when finished, but it does seem that the center is tricky. As I understand it, you can do the outside hearts as a separate round, then it gets attached later, which is pretty clever.

Nice!

I can't get past the first round of that heart pattern!
