I just realized that your methods can be applied to ANYTHING. You are a genius and I bet you have never given yourself credit for your gift as a teacher. The method of deconstruction and planning can be applied to, for example, writing a book, building a house, designing clothes, doing beadwork, anything that requires plans and repetition, the list is endless. It gives me hope for generational knowledge of practice and consistency. Which if you think about it is what you do, moving generational knowledge forward to the next in line. ❤❤❤

Last week I learned tatting. I was so fascinated by it, that I bought a small tatting kit and tried it out. It was not long before I thought using some stationary pins in place of my hands and just guide the shuttle with two fingers. That way my fingers wouldn't hurt because I keep them so tense. So I started searching youtube to see if other people thought of this, and somehow I came across this video. I watched the video with as much fascination if not more, as I did watching the lady when I discovered tatting last week. Now, I want to do this instead of tatting. Thank you for such a cool video. The time you took to explain everything, and the drawings, it just speaks volumes about you and your quality of work. You must be a really patient person. Thank you again.

I would never have guessed even looking at the picture that the foot of the lace wasn't a traditional foot. To me it seemed like the most straightforward piece of this lace too, but your explanation made me realise how simple this piece of lace would be to recreate. Thank you for your video, you made it look like so easy (right now I sometimes feel like I can barely follow patterns, but then I don't sit with my pillow and bobbins nearly as regularly as I probably should).

Good morning Bryce, thank you so much for these videos. You don’t know how much it means to be a blind crafter and come upon these videos, and find how much this has been broken down. I’m not sure how I’ll be able to draw patterns, but I’m sure there’s a way. The tracing will perhaps, a scoring pin, I am not sure. How would I make the raised pattern, or the pattern at all, visible. I’m very curious, do you know if blind women were taught this craft? I would love to be able to re-create yards and yards of 1900s lace. Any thoughts?

I'm really not sure if there was a history of blind lacemakers. I would imagine there was, once she became familiar with the pattern, especially if there was someone there physically to help in the beginning, it could indeed be done without too much difficulty. Bobbins are such tactile objects, and feeling different spangles, or counting over pairs should work just fine to show you where you are. You should be able to feel the holes in prickings with your fingers or with pins to guide by feel as well as sight. I think perhaps making the pricking in the first place would be the most challenging part.

That helps a lot actually. It's what I pictured in my head. I found a series of videos on bobbin lace from a channel called the lace owl. Her name is Sandra and she's been lacing for thirty five years. I think she does historic reenacting as well. I look forward to part two.

Yes, there were blind lacemakers and there are pictures of 5 pieces of lace made by 'a blind child' in 'A Manual of Hand-Made Bobbin Lace Work' by Margaret Maidment, published in 1931. You would work on the back of the pricking so the pricking itself would have the same amount of touch information as braille. However, we don't know how much help the child had and how independently she was working and depending on the design. Sometimes it is essential for sighted lace makers to have drawn on guide lines to show where different stitches are worked on a pricking where the holes are the same for all the different stitches. Without those guidelines the pricking is nearly impossible to interpret without making frequent errors. The difficulty of bobbin lace over single thread crafts such as knitting or crochet is that although you might be able to feel the pricking to place the pins, once the pin is in place it stops you being able to feel what the threads have done previously. Even if all the bobbins had identifying textures, it would be extremely difficult to remember which one should be where and if they got in the wrong order, which happens quite regularly however careful you are as you move them around on the pillow, It would be very difficult to first of all realise that two bobbins had changed places, and then to know which way to cross or twist them to put them back in the right place. You might well be able to make simple strips of bobbin lace but it wouldn't be yards and yards of what would look like 1900s lace. What you would be able to do far more successfully is to make knitted lace which was very much in fashion at the time. Straight off the needles it doesn't look anything very special, the whole art of knitted lace is that it is loosely knitted on big for the thread needles, and needs to be blocked out well when it's finished and that would also be possible for you to do. If you work on a surface you can pin into, wet the lace in a starch liquid and the pin it down using a straight edge to pin the straight side to, stretching it well as you go. The come back along the curved edge and pull that away from the straight edge and pin around the points or scallops - perfectly possible by touch alone and just as historically correct for the period. The advantage is that even if your knitting is a little bit uneven, as you block it all the stitches get pulled into shape.

Thank you so much for this series! I love knitting and crocheting lace and have wanted to try other types of lace making for years. I love your mixture of explaining things in clear detail, but also not shying away from showing us higher-level concepts and skills - it perfectly suits how I learn best. I had a bunch of 5" wooden craft easels sitting around (long story), and yesterday I took a bunch of them apart and used my Dremel to turn their pieces into makeshift bobbins to get started. They worked great to get through my first little strip of stitches! Thank you again.

Though it's some 25 odd years since someone taught me the 2 most basic stitches (half stitch and whole stitch) ... but this made soo much sense. If I remember correctly the whole stitch is called the 'linnen' stitch in Dutch ... probably because it looks like a woven thing.

I’m excited for more bobbin lace videos! Your introductory video to the main stitches is what got me to try bobbin lace. This was very interesting, I feel like my first instinct would have been to figure out the pin placement first and then have a go and figure it out on the fly, but I suppose actually figuring out exactly how each thread crosses and twists through the pattern is way more likely to be accurate to the original lace!

I was amused by your description of the footside (as not common). I am certainly no expert at bobbin lace (can you say COVID-induced-rabbit-hole?), but I just spent two months on a project using that footside. I discovered it from The LaceMaker Diary (KZitem channel), an Italian guy who happened to have an example of a motif I wanted to do. So, makes me wonder if that's one of those regional variations. Also, I have to say, nothing beats hand-turning your own bobbins!

I’ve been a long time subscriber of the LaceMaker Diary, he’s really good! I didn’t realize he has a piece with this foot side. Do you remember what it was called, I’d love to go back and watch it. It’s super rare in all of the English (language) patterns that I’ve ever seen to have the bobbin pairs breaking up like this. Maybe it is indeed regional? 😊

@@BryceHistorically It was the heart from 3(?) years ago. (Un Cuore per San Valentino) It took me a _long_ time to get over the fact that my pairs were not staying together! Eventually, you get into a rhythm where three of the outer pairs get all mixed up, then come back together again. Over and over. The center squiggle is even "worse" because the footside (as it is) switches back and forth.

Found it! You’re right, it is the same cloth stitch and extra half stitch thingy. So nice to see it somewhere else in the lacemaking world. Makes me wonder if it is more common in Italian laces? Does that mean that there is an Italian origin or perhaps influence in the dress that I took the pattern from? Lots of fun things to think about. 😊 Thank you for letting me know about this.

Darn touch screens so useful when u want them, so aggravating when inconvenient! So I guess practice for this (as a beginner) could be learning to visually recognize twists vs crosses.

@BryceHistorically

Yes, that is a very good question. With a pretty long "it depends" kind of answer...perhaps the longest I've written so far. (This might call for its own video in the future.) I think the most "right" way to do it is to remove the lace and wash the garment, then reapply it, especially if it is antique lace, very wide or very delicate. This is, of course, a huge amount of work, especially if there are yards and yards of it. I think the next most "right" way to do it, is to gently hand wash the garment with lace on it in cool water by hand, so nothing shrinks. Then dry flat, and whatever you do, don't wring out the lace. It distorts the tension of the threads. Now, all that being said, do I personally do either of those things? No, I almost never do, not with lace I've made anyway. I put the lace yardage or garment with lace on it into a garment bag if I can, and just throw it in the washing machine with towels, kid clothes, and everything else - hot water "cotton" settings and all. And then, also shocking, I throw it into the dryer (although I pull it out while still slightly damp). The lace comes out looking terrible, like a wadded up Kleenex. But, with my iron set to cotton, I slowly reshape it and it snaps back good as new. This part is actually kind of fun/satisfying because the transformation from damp wad to beautiful, delicate lace is impressive. Now, you may have different results depending on what the fiber of the thread is. I almost always use DMC 80 cotton thread, and I've never had any shrinking or bleeding or anything. You may want to test it out on a sample just to practice and make sure. Anyway, that's my super long answer, that may get me in trouble with the lace police. 😊 I hope it helps.

A bobbin just needs to have some weight to it and be able to store a long length of thread and have it easily able to be wound out and in, and easy for you to manipulate in your hands. I’ve used wooden clothes pins(the spring loaded kind) with the thread wound around the body of the peg and held in place by clamping the end in the jaws of the peg/pin, and they were great. I’ve seen people use pencils(tho they’re a bit unwieldy , cos they’re long but still manageable) but pencils DO tend to roll, which is something clothespins/pegs don’t do.
