A new tatting book arrived from https://www.learnshuttletatting.com/ and I think it’s a great guide for beginners learning how to do shuttle tatting. I’ve written a review https://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2025/02/reviewing-book-frivolite-by-sparrow.html?m=1 #tatting #shuttletatting #howto #lacemaking #newbook
I always thought of crochet lace as heavy, indelicate. But then I had an internship at Skansen open air museum in Stockholm, and I was tasked to make this bonnet. It’s from the oldest crochet manual printed in Swedish, from the 1840’s. And the fineness of this lace really blew me away and set me on a new path.

I did a research project for my master’s degree on freehand lace making in rural Sweden. And when I got back from my tour of the countryside I had to try it for myself.
Right now I’m in an anatomical era of work, and this blood system sort of work is top of mind. This piece also got selected to be shown in a local art exhibition this summer.
Unfortunately I have recently misplaced it, but I’m sure it’ll turn up if I make an effort to look for it.

A shirt fit for a prince.
A friend of mine was going to a 15th century LARP event, and I made her a new shirt for the occasion. It’s loosely based on extant shirts in the V&A collection from the period.

In rural Sweden it was tradition for brides to wear a golden crown on their wedding day. If you get married in a country church there’s is in many places still a crown available for renting on your big day.
But in some parts of Dalecarlia there was a second crown. One stashed away in some hidden place. It was no less special, despite not being kept on hallowed ground. You see - if a maiden died unwed, she would be afforded the privilege to wear another golden crown to the wake.
I present to you: Jungfrulik.

#LolitaFashion peeps coming over from #TikTok ! There's a few of us here on Mastodon. I personally made my account a couple weeks ago, and am OBSESSED with lacemaking and the fashion(I also really enjoy tamagotchi).
I left tiktok a couple years ago, and am working to move away from Meta's products for regular scrolling and am moving over to here. Feel free to connect!
Something actually good to look forward to: I’ll be teaching at the Finger Lakes 25th Tatting Conference April 4-6, 2025. More info at http://www.fingerlakestatting.com/2024/12/finger-lakes-tatting-2025.html
Photo is from a previous year at this event. I’m the one standing at far right. #tatting #lacemaking #fingerLakesNY #WatkinsGlen

Finished! I made the 2 pin Roseground Bookmark, pattern by Jenny Brandis. I used linen thread + my own hand dyed size 80, and the result is so delicate and lightweight. I chose a gathered finish rather than the fringe suggested. #bobbinlace #lacemaking
The formidably impressive sight of all those pins. 
Having gotten this far, I think I’m finally starting to get the groove. 
Pattern is 2 pin Roseground Bookmark by Jenny Brandis. #bobbinlace #lacemaking #fiberarts
I finished the bobbin lace bookmark “Flowers and Spiders” from a thread kit and pattern by GaliciaBee on Etsy. Loving how those colors blend ! #lacemaking #fiberarts #bobbinlace

Separately, I was planning to launch this project in January, after the holidays. But BECAUSE REASONS it makes sense to launch now.
I'm recruiting #Wikipedia editors for lace pages, and got a grant for it from @wikipedia .
I don't know if y'all can access this story, but @404mediaco has a piece that I helped with. It is:
"AI Comes for a Centuries-Old Craft" and the proliferation of #AIslop beginner books. Preying on beginners who don't know what's real or not is loathsome, and underway.

Too many beads tatting project in progress. My design, so no one to blame except myself.

I love how much the Irish are cherishing and celebrating their lace traditions. They are really doing a great job at grants and outreach.
#WIPWednesday: the #LimerickLace kit is underway.
I like it--it's very engrossing. But it's also very unforgiving. Every wrong stitch and every misaligned thread is visible.
