Hi Shell and fellow Arachnids,
Like many lacemakers I can do several types of lace;- bobbin (a number
different types), needle, Irish and 'straight' crochet, Carrickmacross,
Armenian (knotted), knitted, tambour, tatting (do not enjoy but can do it),
Tennerife and embroidered laces and probably some others. Don't forget that
there are many different types of bobbin lace alone; just counting them off
without reference to books, papers or the Net I can think of about 40 each
with its own techniques and little tricks :-)
My favourites are Milanese, and mixed technique bobbin lace, needle lace
and Branscombe (needle lace using machine made tape as foundation).
Happy lace making
Joepie in East Sussex, where it is still cold, but the sun is shining for
the first time in weeks. HURRAY!

....>I do have a question - how many of us do more than one form of lace? I
personally have done some tatting with a bobbin, knitted lace and bobbin
lace. I am still learning the needle lace and other forms.
I just wonder how many of us do more than one form.
