Teneriffe E



It's been a while, but I finally picked up teneriffe lace again!

I know I have mentioned several times how I think teneriffe is not a very sturdy lace. This motif seems a bit sturdier than most of what I had done so far. The relatively large areas of weaving rather than rows of knotting seems to help. I still suspect the main problem is that the thread I use is too thin for the pattern. I really don't want to switch over to thicker thread though! I am also not sure I want to start shrinking the pattern quite yet.

Made with DMC special dentelles 80 in ecru.
