The Wedding Garter

The inspiration for the pattern was the garter designed by Louise Colgan in her Wedding Lace Portfolio available from Vansciver Bobbin Lace (US) and Roseground (England) and made by JanM of Gumlace fame. There are differences but the most obvious difference is that the ribbon insertion area is done differently.

The WIP

It took several months to get it to the finished stage, partially because I am working full time right now and partially as it has taken approx. 130 hours.

So, what do you think? Not bad for a first effort?
