When I read this, I immediately saw a design in my head that is mostly suitable for Torchon that eliminates the need for pointy pins. Something on the order of a pegboard with pegs that could be pulled up or pushed down as needed. Even simpler would be a pegboard where pegs could be set as needed. Using tatting cotton or larger cordonnet would be reasonable. I just have this feeling that it could be done! You might try 'Freehand Lace', ie lace that is only pinned at the edges - lots of variation in the Scandinavian lace worked this way and in Milanese braids. Working on a large scale (eg with wool) would give something that could be used as a scarf or belt (I know there is a potential strangling risk, but this is an unlikely form of self harm).
