Help me identify what this is?

I got a package today from Sandy(carolina red), and there was something in there that I can’t identify what it is. I asked her but she said that she doesn’t know what it’s for either. Can someone help? :??

Pictures are below.

TIA

It’s for making Hairpin Lace. I’m sure if you google it you can find all kinds of directions for it.

Ohh thank you ingrid!!

I had one of these in a care package from a lady that takes my morning exercise class with. I’ve yet to try using it though. :wink:

that’s onnnneeee big cable needle!!! that musta come from TEXAS!!!

:roflhard:

OMG !! :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:

:roflhard: :roflhard:

you guys crack me up!

I’m glad Ingrid’s around because my guess had something to do with croquet.

www.stitchdiva.com currently has quite a few hairpin lace patterns (for sale). They seem to think it’s coming back. I didn’t learn it the last time it was big.
I may skip it this time, too.

:doh: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
I have 2 of these. They are used for crocheting. Don’t know why I have 2…
Hairpinlace example… http://www.berroco.com/exclusives/dagmar/dagmar.html

This is actually a crochet tool that I own, but have never used. :oops:

I once saw an older lady on a bus using one, and I was facinated by how it worked. I also remember cringing because she was working away on a filthy bus with WHITE yarn! :shock:

This website tells how to use it…
