So my partner used to get annoyed that I would leave needles everywhere, so I made myself a Turkish needle holder or "ignelik" This needle holder has caput oyasi or "cloth oya" around 2 sides of it, and lots of evil eyes. It was fun to make but sewing the cloth together is annoying.
I also finished my M.I.L's scarf and below is what it looks like. Its a lovely scarf with green and orange needle lace around.

Peace! x
It's lovely! I've never seen this type. In Poland we just make small cushions. Funny thing, the names are similar in Turkish and in Polish. Needle - igne - igła; needle holder - ignelik - igielnik :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the scarf is beautiful.
Why thankyou Piwonia, these "ignelik" are usually hung on a wall or something, so its supposed to look decorative. Isnt that amazing how the 2 languages are so similar? I never would have thought...To be honest I've always wanted to go to poland, I've heard its such a lovely place. And thankyou for your kind comments, its always nice to receive comments from you.
ReplyDeleteI suppose this is just by chance that the two words are so similar, but it's funny and I like it :) If you are in Poland, please let me know, maybe we would meet :D It is a pity Australia is so far away and I'm not a traveller. Well, maybe some day.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice :)Australias a nice place so maybe one day you'll be enticed into coming :)

ReplyDeleteHi again,
ReplyDeletePlease can you tell me where I can get some of the Nylon Thread from? I am in Melbourne and as I said in an earlier mail I am a beginner at the Knotted lace so would appreciate your help.
I am a visual person so would really like a teacher but they seem to be out of my reach here in Hastings Vic.
Maybe you could send me an e-mail
