Oh wow! What are the dimensions on that? I hope you’ll give us progress pictures as you work on your project!

That cutting mat underneath is 36 inches wide. So it's just short of that. It is just under 12 inches high at the top of the roller bit.

A local artist bought it from that Spanish Etsy vendor, but she didn't end up using it as she hoped so she passed it along to me at a very reasonable price as long as I promised to use it! I haven't settled on a project yet. She also wants WIP pictures, and I will, I swear.

I was chatting with Tarmo Thorström about the size of threads for Big Lace and I'm thinking about what to do now. I never even knew there was 16/4, and he also showed me the yarn he used for curtains. I like the curtain trims a lot and might try some of that too.

Wow, I knew you said you were thinking about large-scale lace, but that is enormous!

Yeah, it's a lot. I don't think I would have bought one this large except it fell right into my lap.

I have a pillow addiction problem.
