Neuer Klöppelbrief begonnen... wer sich damit auskennt: wird das ein Roseground? (Und bitte nicht zu weit runter gucken, ich weiß, dass die Klöppel irgendwie seltsam sortiert sind, aber ka) ich kann mir immer nicht merken, ob von links oder rechts weiter geht und im Moment ist das Prinzip Chaos (also die nächsten Freien Klöppel machen weiter). Was wäre da richtig?
@thegoblinwitch Ah, yeah--Nottingham isn't my favorite for beginner books, but some people love it. A lot of people started with her.
My current favorite beginner book is Jan Tregidgo's book linked below. But if you want to check it out there's a copy of it on the Internet Archive. It's very step-by-step thorough.
This #lace event filled up faster than they expected--so they have moved it from Zoom so they can host more people.
If you didn't catch it before it "sold out" before, you can try again now. Details in this Insta post.

I recently learned about Elizabeth Perkins Wildes Bourne. She was apparently a talented weaver in #Maine, widely known for her counterpanes (coverlets). Reportedly one was in the White House with the Madisons.
Someone overpainted her portrait at some point, and I want to do very bad things to that person. I cannot fathom why they did this to her.
Painting is at the Brick Store Museum in Maine and I plan to visit her soon. I need to see her lace up close.
And here is more stuff on her Instagram and another article. Rowan Panther is the artist.

A nice profile of a #NewZealand lacemaker. She makes #BobbinLace but with a special local fiber. And mounts the lace on traditional breastplate designs that are wonderful.
