Fw: Re: [lace] i'm doing BOBBIN LACE !!! grumble mumble
-- Forwarded Message -- I've met dozens of people when I've been demonstrating bobbin lace whose grannies did tatting just like you're doing. Evidently a universal problem: I agree. While demonstrating my bobbin lace at the Bristol Renaissance Faire, I will inevitably be asked if I'm tatting. Thankfully, an Elizbethan would have no understanding of the craft of tatting, since it has about (I think) another near 150 years to be invented. In character, I get rather offended and reply that I had just made this lace and it hath not the time and wear to become tatty.. Usually then the person asking the question apologises and then explains what tatting is and I say that I have never heard of it, it must be from the continent and what I am doing is called bobbin lace. If someone has the approximate date and place that tatting appeared in the threadcraft universe, can you let me know? Not that I will divulge it to my mistaken patrons (I cannot have foreknowledge of events to come...performance guilde rules) but for my own arsenal of information.

Evidently a universal problem: yes, except in France it's embroidery In Spain it is crochet - the mothers, grandmothers aunts etc. always did the same thing I do at demos - but one person told me that they were better at it - only needed one of those things (crochet hook) instead of as many as I had on my pillow.

Well, I just ran into that problem in a crochet magazine which was showing the history of crocheted lace and at the top it said all the methods shown below have one thing in common...they use fine thread and a hook to make their designs. (yes that included the bobbin lace they showed, and the needle lace) VERY misleading.
