Antique Satin and Lace Ornament

HeartStrings knitting pattern #A81

Fine lace knitted with unbleached linen and pearl seed beads against white satin suggests the look of an antique ornament.

Lace Christmas Ball made by Mary Mauz using hand-knit beaded lace edging and handmade wool felt ball

Instead of attaching the hand-knit beaded lace edging to a commercial satin ornament ball, Mary M used a felted wool ball made by her daughter. How lovely and what I great idea, too, don't you think? Thank you Mary for sharing.

p.s. I did ask Mary if her daughter made the felt balls for sale, but she does not. So you're on your own to make them yourself or buy from one of the sellers on Etsy selling wool dryer balls.
