Hi Kim,
I ordered my broomstick lace pin today and paid for my class, so I guess I just commited myself to a new experience. Actually I am really looking forwarded to learning a new technique. Can't wait. Hope my needle gets here in time, I already have the yarn in my stash.

I just wanted to say that I took this class when it was offered previously, and I did not have a broomstick pin so I cut a strip of cardboard to work over. That worked very well.

(It's a good class! )

It is possible, although not necessarily easy, to work these stitches without an actual broomstick pin or large knitting needle. As magiccrochetfan said, she used a piece of cardboard. I would imagine that a ruler, if it's very smooth would work. And, if all else fails, the end of a broom. After all, I'm pretty sure that a broom is what was used in the beginning, hence the name broomstick. I've never used one, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

dowel rods are cheap and would also work well.

I just signed up for this class and I'm looking forward to it. I do have the large knitting needle since I've played with broomstick before (but have already forgotten how I did it .

I've gotten away from crocheting for the last few months so it will be fun to get back into it. Kim, can you tell us the finished size of the shawl?
