@BethFishReads @fiberarts @bobbinlace this is magnificent... what will become of this piece once it is finished?
@bobbinlace @LookNoFurther @fiberarts it’s an oval edging. Traditionally it would be sewn to a piece of linen as a doily. I’ll likely frame it.
@BethFishReads @bobbinlace @fiberarts My Norwegian-American great=grandmother and her sisters did handwork that they called "tatting." Are you familiar with it? All of their pillowcases had tatted edges.

@LookNoFurther @BethFishReads @bobbinlace @fiberarts

My grandmother from #NorthYorkshire in the UK used to do tatting

@juliahowe @LookNoFurther @BethFishReads @bobbinlace @fiberarts I used to do some tatting, although I liked the other name, "frivolité"!
