I celebrated #InternationalLaceDay at the Culture House popup in #GilmanSq . Public #lacemaking to prove that the art is not dead!

It was hot. I know it's a temporary thing, but black tar is not ideal here.... sigh.

BTW: #lacemakers are finding a lot of treasures in the @internetarchive and we are making lists!

If you find other books that belong in here, let us know.

@mem_somerville @internetarchive this reminded me I should find more time in translating my book and converting it into epub format as well. Now that I have gotten the rights from the publisher I can do whatever I want - and open domain that is!

Currently it is only in Finnish and the first edition of 1000 copies is basically sold out. Modest amount, but in Finland for a truly niche genre it is quite well.

Oh, this is the book in question:

Unohda vanhat mielikuvasi nypläämisestä! Nypläämällä on perinteisesti tehty hienoja pitsejä ohuista langoista. Tässä kirjassa nypläystä lähestytään
