Lace Butterfly



















This is the first actual piece of lace I made with my teacher.

(The first thing she did when she started to teach me was to have me make what is called a "bandage" in order to see how far I was. It is a pattern using cloth stitch, a basket weave, and half stitch, which looks like rows of Stars of David up close. These two stitches alternate, making what looks like a bandage. It is commonly used for beginners.)
