This is my first Teneriffe Lace Medallion.  I found an interesting book on Teneriffe lace at the antique pattern library website. I downloaded "Teneriffe Lace Design and Instructions, copyrighted in 1904 by Earl & Co.  There are over 40 designs to make of teneriffe lace.  This is Design No 1. It is referred to as one of the classic designs of the Teneriffe lace wheel.  I decided that I would try to make it.  I was not sure that I would enjoy the craft. So, I made my own wheel from foam core and polar graph paper.  It was interesting taking the written instructions and adapting them to something I understood.  I was happily surprised that it held its shape when off the wheel. Since it is harder to see very fine thread, I used size 10 crochet thread. This also gave me a great choice in colors.  I like the stain glass effect of open spaces.  I thought that this would make a great ornament or addition to clothing.
