How to make lace eggcups



These lace eggcups are worked on styrofoam eggs which have been cut in two. The lace pricking for the styrofoam egg is also cut in two and pinned to the two halves of the egg (see photos below). Then the two parts of the styrofoam egg are pinned together with large pins so that the cut surfaces are at the top and bottom.

I worked the eggcups in wire with the rearranged styrofoam egg mounted on a photographer's tripod. That was because it is easiest to work an eggcup if the bobbins hang down all around it. You can see how in the photos.
