Needle Lace Talk

Make, learn and talk about needle lace.

Myriel's Groups

What kind of needle lace do you make, and how long have you been making it?: I started out with venetian gros point and learned for a few months before I had to take a lenghty pause from needlework

What kind or kinds of needle lace do you want to learn?: Point de Gaze, Point d'Alencon, Youghal, Venetian Rose/Gros Point, Burano, Reticella

Tell us about your other lace related interests.: I am also interested in other minor lace techniques like Bibila, Netting, Filet Lace, Sun Lace, Shuttle Tatting and Irish Crochet.

I also wanna learn how to do bobbin lace at some point.
