current Bitterroot shawl in camel/silk with tiny
beads on the edge so will be looking through my yarn stash for a new
project soon.
I've enjoyed reading what types of lace others make. No wonder this
list is the first port of call for any lace queries - the wealth of
knowledge and experience
At present I am making my bookmarks ready for the exchange but I am also
making the 'map of the world' from the Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti book 'let's
make bobbin lace'. I'm making it in black and intend to mount it on a

The first lace I ever did was shuttle tatting. That soon ended when I

bobbin lace is that if you make a mistake you can retrolace and fix it.
Much later I discovered needle tatting, and I enjoy that for Christmas
I do bobbin lace, and needlelace mainly these days, but I have, in the past,
done knitted lace, tatting, macramé, crochet, and Hairpin lace.
Included in the word Needlelace is also filet lace, and the embroidery on
net types (Carrickmacross, and Limerick) with Tambour Lace still on my To-Do
Oops - I forgot to mention my Knotted laces - I do the Eastern Mediterranean
laces, Oya and Bebilla, and have tried Puncetto.
I have done hardanger, too, but I count that more as an embroidery rather
than lace.
