@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.

@bobbinlace @BethFishReads @fiberarts @LookNoFurther I taught myself to tat as a teenager! But man, it sucks if you make a mistake and need to pick it apart. Knitted and crocheted lace is more my jam. Easy to rrrrrip.

All this lace-talking! In a weakened moment I told someone,"sure, I can make a Barbie wedding gown".
