The only thing I know to do with hairpin lace is to use it as edging/trim, or to make garters with it by running elastic down the center bit.
Don't feel bad on the old-age thing. When I realized Kindergarten was

I've never used a 'pattern' for hairpin lace. . . I just make my strips and join 'em... Noreen
Same Like Noreen :>:>:> i make the strips that add a pattern buy the way i join them ,,, best ever was join with embroidery while adding beads ,,,,also change color midway of the stripe or use double strand in the middle and work every second Loop in other color ,, mirjam
I like the braided effect for afghans, taking two loops from one strip, and two from the opposite, and pulling them through one another till the end... If it's a lightweight yarn, sometimes I've pulled three loops.... Just my two cents, Noreen

... and for all those people, 5 years younger than I am, ....they have ALL been so much older than me...! Aud :-o
. . . today is the 24th anniversary of my Dad's passing, and it occured to me that THIS year, I've now been without him longer than I had him.... strange how numbers, years, ages work, eh? JM2C, Noreen
I did it in the eighties, and still have my "thing" - the gadget for making it. But I haven't done any for ages.

Nice site, Shelly. Thanks.

That's what I did, too, Noreen. Great minds, eh?
Katherine
ah .. that is very strange Noreen, I was thinking yesterday that my sister has now been dead longer than she was alive. I don't know why that is so hard to take.

Yep, Katherine! And, BTW, FYI, the 'thingy' is called a fork, LOL! Hugs, Noreen
Right! I knew that!!! LOL
Hugs, Katherine
Of course you did! You were testing ME, right? Hugs, Noreen
Yes, that's it. Testing you, that's what I was doing. You passed, BTW.
Hugs, Katherine
