Thank you all for solving my problem! After viewing Lorelei's diagrams & pg
147 of Practical Skills, I understand what tripped me up. I had Idrija on the
brain--where each successive passive is used as the weaver following a
temporary pin. That didn't work with 6 prs in which one pair was
What I like to do if it is a tight turn is to work to the inside of the curve,
do one twist then leave that pair -no pin. **Pick up the last passive pair you
worked through and use it as the worker out to the edge and back to the middle
going through all pairs, one twist on the worker. Repeat

Here are a few links to one of my teaching laces from my website, which uses
the turning stitch I just described in my previous email.

Does this lace ever use a pivot pin? Or are all turns made like regular
tape lace? I've got a very tight curve.

Yes indeed! In tight places they be used three or four times, if not more!

Does this lace ever use a pivot pin? Or are all turns made like regular tape
lace? I've got a very tight curve. Many thanks for any suggestions.

Hello all.
I am very interested in Russian bobbin lace, and have seen a book on
Vologda's grounds. The book is
*The Technique of Vologda Lace*, by Vera Cockuyt. As I haven't seen the
book, I would like to have some references before buying it. Do any of you
have the book or know it? I would like
One book which I don't think has been mentioned is Bridget Cook's Russian
Lace Making, which has an introductory section explaining the techniques
followed by plenty of patterns. The instructions look fairly clear and
comprehensive (I have a copy but have never got round to using it).

About five years ago I went on a Waterways of Russia tour, a delightful
journey in a boat gliding along the canals, rivers and lakes that joined
Moscow to St. Petersburg. I was with my dear friend Pat, who sadly died a
couple of years ago. I remember listening to the nightingales singing in the
When I started off with bobbin lace I worked on a bolster pillow .
When the design was too big we just went around the pillow another
time, pinning the layer over the pervious one. We kind of rolled the
pattern and the lace over and over until the pattern was done.

Hello Noelene,
A teacher of mine who knew some ladies from Wologda exolained it to me.
They have there very long and big rolls bigger then those from
Erzgebirge. And on those big lace-pieces are two or more lacers working
at the same time.
Hope this helps.
Greetings

That's how I saw it done in Poland too, except that the bolster pillows
were even bigger.

Late last year I did a class in Russian tape lace with Nadine Pauwels
when she was visiting Australia. Among the lace pieces she brought
for display, were some beautiful tape lace mats including a circular
one about 2 ft (80 cm) in diameter and some long rectangular mats.
Does anyone know what
more pins/holes to line up.

I don't know for sure but I think such mats could be made on bolster
pillows, which give more leverage on making the bigger pieces. You can
have quite a long, round bolster, and/or you can move the pattern
about as required. Or - you build on the lace in units or piecework.
Does anyone know

Thank you, Noelene, for pointing us to that website! The pictures were
stunning, and I can well understand your interest in learning more about
how to make this lace! I'll be interested to see the answers others have
for you!
