Jillian’s Spinning: Jennifer Leigh’s Viburnum

Spinning designer Jennifer Leigh wrote a great week long blog series on her pattern Viburnum.

She traces the pattern from the kernel of an idea all the way through publication. I especially enjoyed the posts on the making of  her lace version, the support spindle spinning, the plying and and excellent tutorial and video on using her beading tool.
