Jenny. I appreciate you tutorials. I discovered this craft a few months ago and I have learned so much. I wish I could find an instructor where I live but no such luck. With you I am boldly going forward. Thank you.
I looked at each of the patterns and could not make out which one it is . I really appreciate your efforts to teach someone like me who is an absolute beginner . I have 2 books and I've been practicing really hard to learn this beautiful craft .
Leona Crossland Sorry Leona, it looks like I did not add a link on that page but if you go here you will go direct to the PDF. brandis.com.au/craft/downloads/caneground.pdf
Thank you so much for all your help . It's greatly appreciated and I can't wait to try this pattern . It might take me a couple of tries but I won't give up until I can do it . What thread size do you recommend ? I have size 10 through 80.
wind thread onto a new bobbin. tie that to a temporary pin p and off to the side. lay the new thread through the pins to where the old thread is, unwind the old thread. wind the old thread along with the new onto the new bobbin. work lace until new thread is well anchored. lay the old thread out. later cut off the loose threads.
I have been trying to find the author mentioned on the pattern , however could not find any where . I've been trying to see if only 2 pairs of black bobbins were used . Either way , I'm going to give this pattern a go because it is so beautiful . If you could give me the color bobbin pattern to start with , I can do the rest . Hopefully .
Pat Milne is a well know Australian lace teacher, but she has not put her patterns (as yet) into book form. Over the years, there have been many of her patterns printed in the Australian Lace Magazine.
+Jenny Brandis Thank you so much . I'm still pretty much a beginner at bobbin lace and I've made a few so far but none like this . You have been so helpful . I have one more question . How do you add a new pair when one pair is almost out of thread . I can't find anything on this and I do want to try a bigger project . Again , I can't thank you enough for your help and advice .
+Jenny Brandis I have tried to get this pattern to work for 2 days . The black won't cover the 2 rows of black dots . I don't know what I'm doing wrong , I wish you had a video on how to do the top before center section is done .
Jenny, I have a few questions for you please: What size thread do you use. I bought 20 and 30 for another project. Can I use that? What is it that you use? What book would you suggest would help me the most since I will have to teach myself with books and videos. How many types of roseground are there. What is the purpose of cane vs rose ground aside from how it looks. Does it have another name. Thanks for your answers. Jaci
For most of my samples I use Gutermann Quilting Cotton which has a Wrap Per Centimeter (WPC) of 28. It is smooth, strong and has a stiffness i like. Therefore the patterns are printed at 1/10 inch diagonal or 2mm straight as that is the right size for that thread.
There are over 25 types of roseground and each may have different names LOL Not to make it hard for you but because of location of lacemakers and language differences. "The book of Bobbin Lace Stithes" by Bridget Cook brandis.com.au/arachne/covers/Book039.html is one of my 'goto' books and is now out of print but can be bought digitally through Amazon. I prefer the print version as everything about a particular stitch is on one page whereas digital splits it over several screens.
Cane ground and roseground are both grounds (hence their names) and are used as 'background' around other lace elements although I like them as they are structured beautifully and hold their shape well.
Jenny Brandis so they can be used as the background stitched instead of the cloth stitch...I think a bookmark with nothing but Roseground would be very pretty. Thank you for giving me places to get ideas.
Jenny do you have any bookmark patterns which have a cross or icthus (fish symbol) on them? If you do could you email it to me or do a video about it please?
I don't have any bookmark patterns with either a cross or fish but there are lots out there. A free book that you may like is Milroy, M. E. W. Church Lace, published by Scott, Greenwood & Son, 1920, 128 pages - it can be downloaded from www2.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html#books

I used Gutermann Quilting cotton and that is 28wpc so equivalent to DMC Cordonnet Special 70 or DMC Broder Machine 20
Great tutorial, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

The number I came up with is 24 pairs Red and 2 pairs Black .
correct.

brandis.com.au/craft/downloads/rosegroundBkmk.pdf is a bookmark that is all roseground surrounded by a torchon footside. Great to practice roseground.

Can you if possible send me a picture of the finished bookmark please.
Yes I can
