Was fascinated with the vintage crochet pattern of
broomstick lace when I found it while web surfing that I immediately started projects using this pattern.
Also known as
Jiffy Lace, it requires the use of a cylindrical object, referred to as a "pin" to make the loops and in olden times crocheters used broomsticks in making this pattern.Marti and I roamed most of the malls during the holidays looking for the 50" knitting needle that was used in
this pattern I found by
Crochet Cabana but couldn't find any. Out of desperation, I rummaged our home for the perfect pin and found some glue sticks that did the job!

| My first try...used a glue stick as a pin :) |
Well the glue stick only worked for several rows when I noticed that the yarn fibers were starting to stick so I had to find another pin which came in the form of a marker pen!

| Using a marker pen as a pin the loops are more pronounced |
Almost finished with the first bracelet so I'll post the pictures soon.
