I tried about 20 years ago, but gave up when my teacher stopped the classes.
I am surprised how quickly it all came back, but it is MUCH harder reading the instructions than being shown how
Does anyone else on here make lace?

Lace making anyone?

I just got myself a lace making kit from freecycle.

Re: Lace making anyone?
Oooo you had it!
My mother and I had the cross stitch things that the same woman was giving away and we did ask if the lace making stuff had been taken
To answer your post, I don't know anything about lace making sorry. Enjoying the cross stitch though!

I too needed help with some crochet - I knew how to, just forgot a few principles, which isn't bad as I haven't done any crochet for 19 yrs!
Anyway, her instructions are good & she gives the written instructions to each video as well.
Happy lacing

Are you tatting, crocheting, or something else?
Re: Lace making anyone?
It's bobbin lace. I have put some pics on here. I hope they are big enough for you to see properly. This is something I was working on last night.
Going to try something a bit more adventurous next.

Caroline, that's beautiful. How wonderful you're doing that. I got to watch some ladies tossing those bobbins at the Lace Museum in Brugge. I happened on the museum without knowing what it was. It's an amazing art.
