Fresh off the pillow, my own Celtic Knot cross with Cluny halo design. I am relieved to leave the crossing over of trails for a while and now turn to something less fiddley to do.
Created by lace making over one of my own drawings, l thought the knot section at the ends of the arms would be simply a case of lifting one raft of bobbins over the other but this was not the case. I had to introduce a short length of matching trail, sew in and tie off to create each end knot .
The green leaf tallies are made in a continuous length. They are plaited behind the trails and not seen when the piece is turned over. l didn't know until l took it off the pillow if this would work, or if the green plait would show through. Fortunately, l think l got away with it.
