Bobbin lace





Bobbin lace is something i have always wanted to investigate and try and when on holiday at the great dorset steam show i was able to see lace making from the lace guild.
as the guild was at the show i was able to buy the bobbins ,graph paper , thread and pins.
i already have a book on bobbin lace so starting was not to bad i did struggle with the awkwardness of all the bobbins but i have found that keeping the bobbins attached with a short string makes lace making much less awkward.
