Been trying to do cluny leaves. but these nadgered fingers of mine won't stay in place with out getting severe cramp.
SOLUTION
Pro's
Cost's nothing
Con's
See equipment source!!

Equipment and method of procurement
1 Steal wifes cork, pricking board ( she does Maltese style bobbin lace )
Here are a couple of examples

2 Raid wifes needlework box for pins.

Thats it.

I hope that the folowing pictures are clear enough








I just need to work on how the leaf is shaped now and hopefully things should be fine

Well thought! And so good not to loose everything in a tangle if you suddenly have to put your work away.. :)

Great illustrations Bob! Ya got me to thinking I may have to try it.
I have fat fingers myself,not to mention not very coordinated. So this just may have to work.

Hi,Bob.
Interesting way to do the cluny!
As is it the hand method is so tough on the hands and fingers, Mine would stay in that position for another 10 min after making 2 clunies or so!!!
Thanks fo following my blog!
