Hairpin Lace

[TXyarnelf]

I have just learned to do hairpin lace and now I want to do something with it. I'm finding out that there aren't many patterns around. Yesterday, I made a long strip of HL and now I'm crocheting an edging to create and scarf. My DH is impressed, but I'm not. I want to do more.

 

My question to you is what do you do with hairpin lace?

 

Happy hooking,

I think it makes a nice stitch for shawls

If you think of the strips of Hair Pin Lace as just that, strips, then you can begin to see the possibilities if you stitch those strips together. Everything from Hat to Shawls, Dresser Scarves to Curtains to BedToppers ( I once spent an entire winter making HairPin Lace strips to decorate my youngest daughter's bedroom )

 

There are also a few patterns out there for "broom stick" lace crochet, these can be adapted to Hair Place Strips as wel.

who also uses her Clover Hair Pin Lace tools for "broomstick" type work - so much easier (at least for me.

Wheat,

Great idea! I'll start thinking of it as strips. That's what I did for the scarf. I'll post a pic of my scarf in Show'Ntell after I get it finished.

Hugs,

There's a hairpin lace yahoo group that has some patterns available.

Go to yahoo groups and search "hairpin lace." You'll have to go through the approval process to join, but it's a friendly group and worth the trouble.

 

Have fun!

Also check out http://www.stitchdiva.com as she has some pretty nice patterns as well.

I was just looking at a gorgeous pink shawl at Caron.com that uses broomstick lace. You may want to go look at it. It's a free pattern too. I haven't tried boomstick lace before but I may have to try to learn for that shawl lol

My wife is looking to buy a tool. Live in Houston. Does anyone know of somewhere to find one near town?

Do you have a Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or other craft store nearby? They usually carry them. A local yarn store may also carry them.

JoAnn's or Annie's Attic
