I was so relieved that I was able to finish this lace. The pattern is from the book “Freude am Klöppeln” (Joy in Bobbinlace) by Barbara Pollak. Here is a photo of the starched and finished collar with the opened book.
Ich war so erleichtert, dass ich diese Spitze beenden konnte. Das Muster ist aus dem Buch “Freude am Klöppeln ” von Barbara Pollak. Hier ist ein Foto von dem gestärkten und vollendeten Kragen mit dem Buch.
It is mounted on a foamboard covered with dark velvet fabric.

Nice work. If you work collars in linen they hold their shape better than perle cotton.

Thanks Avital! I would also use linen thread if I could, but I am just a forever-student… linen threads are just beyond my budget. lol. ^_^

How gifted you are to be able to do this gorgeous work – and from a book!!
March 2010 a dear friend in Germany gave me my first lesson in bobbin lace and I brought home to the USA an even greater appreciation of each step.
Thank you for sharing!!!
