LOL. Someone sent me a lace newsletter with this print in it today. I had forgotten about it.

And then I realized I had nearly recreated it by accident yesterday. The only difference is I prefer to stand to make lace....

I actually did gather my sleeves based on this print. But I had totally forgotten about it until today.

@mem_somerville you look great, actually epic! 👏🤩🏆 The museum however, incorrectly labeled the process shown in the print as “tatting” when it’s obviously bobbin lace. Good on you for educating the public with your demonstration!

@yarnplayer LOL! I hadn't noticed that. On the main page they have it right as bobbin lace.

I used the other page for the copyright info.
