I have resisted bobbin lace for ages. Last summer, Bunny took a class from The Lace Museum and asked me to join. I declined.
Then I saw her exercises on Instagram. Next thing I knew, my YouTube feed was full of bobbin lace lessons.
Well, that didn’t look so difficult … before I remembered that YouTube lies. Lies Big Time.
I pulled out my tapestry bobbins, some sewing pins, and thrums. Then I jumped in with both feet. Well, what you see above is what happened next. I got about 2/3 done and got bored.
I was right. It’s not for me. But I now understand why it is weaving adjacent. I understand the basics so at least I can have a somewhat coherent conversations about bobbin lace.
