Bobbin lace star


Another bobbin lace made from Geklöppelte Weihnachtssterne using the unknown metallic thread.  I don't want to jinx myself, but I think the petals are starting to be a bit more even.  They still don't look pretty, but progress is being made!  While making this star, I learned how to change out this metallic thread.  Not sure why, but I was convinced it would be harder than adding cotton thread.  It seems like half my bobbins ran out of thread or had a huge knot that I had to get rid of!  Of course, most of them right before it was finished...  Turns out it's not as bad as I had expected, so there is nothing to fear in the future.
