Very thin spoon I made out of an offcut from some cherry I found near Ipswich, Suffolk.

I also took this off the pillow today

My first piece of Ipswich lace!! This was a surprisingly big mental challenge to do. I haven't done a ton of work with gimp threads so it took a lot of concentration to figure it out. Also my first time using a full working diagram like this so that was also a learning curve. The biggest issue with this though was the thread. I just don't like silk. It's so slippery and unravels so easily. I've had this much done for a couple of months I think and finally today decided that one full repeat of the pattern was enough and we are calling it done 😂 I did enjoy the pattern and plan to make more Ipswich lace in the future! But it will definitely be with cotton thread and maybe with a bolster pillow. Also I need to wait until I have more bobbins lol. This was the pattern in the book that required the least number and I was using a mix of square and Midlands which was kind of terrible 😅
