Teaching myself to make Bobbin Lace
Jul. 29th, 2012 09:24 pmSo for various reasons a couple of years ago, I decided to learn how to make bobbin lace. I had a few lessons but didn't pursue it at the time due to lack of proper equipment. Last Xmas I got my act together and got a pillow and some lovely square wooden bobbins and have been getting stuck into it.
Here are some of my learning experiments




These are all variations on the Torchon Ground as that is currently what I am working through learning, as its a key component of the Torchon style which is my preferred choice. Yes, in case you were wondering, I *am* insane but having fun. Its not nearly quite as complicated as it looks, but it really is quite fiddly.
