mem_somervilleProject update: it was pinned out, starched, ironed, and is now attached to my new bag for the lace convention.I was trying to find a spot to get a photo of it, and it made me laugh how well it matched the cover of Whiting's "Lace Guide for Makers and collectors". <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a>

mem_somervilleAntique store find of the week: $3This sweet piece adorned with butterflies was balled up and in a basket. $3. It needs to be pinned out and a little spray starch, I think. But otherwise in lovey shape. The way the tallies are on the surface of the butterflies is clever--it is only attached at the top and bottom, not part of the butterfly wing half stitch.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a>

mem_somerville<a href="https://mas.to/@auris" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@auris</a> That was great! Thanks so much for that.And just this morning I had been recommending this book to a friend who wanted some small projects. I'm going to send her this video as inspiration for her choices.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Dentelle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dentelle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lace</a>

Aurisnew project, let's do this! <a href="https://mas.to/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a>

mem_somervilleWe (the lace community) bring in international teachers to the US all the time. Now, this is way too risky. I wouldn't invite or encourage anyone to come in to the US right now. Even if they think their paperwork is tidy. I'm so sorry, world. But don't come here now.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immigration</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CBP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CBP</a><a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5393847-jfk-new-jersey-ice-facility-immigration-crackdown/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5393847-jfk-new-jersey-ice-facility-immigration-crackdown/</a>

mem_somervilleWow, these monster sized lace pillows they use in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> are impressive. Story about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> celebrated in Peniche.I hear Portugal is a place that people from the US might want to go if things get worse here. I'm keeping a list of international lace towns in my back pocket....<a href="https://us.fashionnetwork.com/news/Peniche-brings-global-focus-to-portugal-s-lace-making-heritage,1749237.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://us.fashionnetwork.com/news/Peniche-brings-global-focus-to-portugal-s-lace-making-heritage,1749237.html</a>

AurisI'm finally done. There are so many mistakes but I don't care, as I will probably never look at it again. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a>

mem_somervilleHoly <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> Gods! Alex Stillwell has made a number of her really high quality books and pamphlets available for download.At least one of them is really hard to find in print now. Someone in my lace group wanted a copy of that Floral Bucks Point and couldn't find it for sale. These are wonderful. Get them if you lace.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Lace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lace</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BucksPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BucksPoint</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/teneriffe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teneriffe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NeedleLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeedleLace</a> <a href="https://alexstillwell.wordpress.com/books-and-booklets-free-downloads/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://alexstillwell.wordpress.com/books-and-booklets-free-downloads/</a>

GiselleThis is from: Adele Voshage: “Das Spitzenklöppeln”, 'Anleitung an 34 Mustern die Klöppelarbeit gründlich zu erlernen.' <a href="https://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/L-ML001.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/L-ML001.htm</a> This is on sheets 27 and 28 if I counted right. The page No says 15. Instruction starts at bottom of that page: IX. Das 9. Muster (Das Palmblatt) And I was wrong, the description isn't as annoying as I thought, but it is German. Sorry. Might go back and work from that. If anyone wants translations for specific words, let me know. <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/kl%C3%B6ppeln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#klöppeln</a>

GiselleHere is the <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> graphic. I love working the grid pattern at the foot side but I'm struggling with the half stitch zigzag stripe. Once I've got enough experience I might try to replace that with a cloth stitch zigzag, and the cloth stitch diamonds perhaps with spiders. If that works okay with the palm head side. Maybe not. Half stitch diamonds is likely a better idea. The diamond makes placement more logical. Anyway, I need to try out and practice spiders first, haven't done those yet.

Giselle...next one. But am having difficulty seeing what I've done well enough to work out which pair to pick up. So this yarn is too thin. I will have to bite the bullot and print the chart much bigger, go back to the first yarn and do a repeat or two of this <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> pattern before I can return to the thinner thread and see what this lace pattern/thread combo is like. Might find I don't like it. My silk thread would be lovely but I only want to work with it once I can follow this chart. Ho-hum.

GiselleI'm practising <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> again. I found a vintage pattern where you can print the chart for free, it's called Das Palmenblatt (the palm leaf), it also has written instructions that I really should follow but can't be bothered to. It just takes so much longer to read those and follow them than looking at the graphic and trying to imitate that. With the result that I keep getting confused about which pair of bobbins I'm supposed to use either side of the transition to another stitch...

GiselleI'm fascinated watching bobbin lace making videos on YouTube. I started watching those by several Italian lace makers, they do such lovely work and the visuals are clear enough so you can see what they're doing. I think I'm picking up on some of the vocabulary in use that's where the list from the above post comes from. I hope I got it right. Can anyone confirm or correct the list?I particularly enjoy videos from The LaceMaker Diary: <a href="https://youtu.be/rrRPrAlA2-g?si=AIlvQQtaecF0pGQl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/rrRPrAlA2-g?si=AIlvQQtaecF0pGQl</a><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/merlettoatombolo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#merlettoatombolo</a>

GiselleAnd this is my favourite <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> piece that I made. The tension of the second half is better than the first, I'll look out for that next time, and I'm extremely pleased that my leaf tallies came out alright. When I first tried to make them (decades ago when I first taught myself), they were beyond wonky and made me frustrated. More practice now made a big difference!I love this. It is the sort of thing that made me want to pick up bobbin lace making again.

GiselleI couldn't stop making this <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BobbinLace</a> trim, I made lots more of it than I meant to. Maybe close to a meter. I'll wait for inspiration about how I want to use it.
