Lace, lace, lovely lace. I have to admit at this point the sample, which represents several lessons good work with my very kind and patient teacher, I did find myself wishing I had been keeping better notes as I went along!

Bobbin Lace I
One of the techniques on the very long list of things I want to try has been bobbin lace for a long time. I’ve tried tatting, hairpin lace, needlelace and generally enjoy fine ‘lace’ crochet, but having seen the magical creations people can make with just some wooden sticks and a stupendous number of pins, bobbin lace has always had a great appeal. Plus, this is a technique with real historical richness, with so many books having been written on different styles and the evolution and social role of lace in society.
