Fellow disabled/chronically ill lace maker!
for my chronically ill crafters: I started learning bobbin lace recently and i find it a very accessible and enjoyable art form! it’s much easier on my joints than crochet and knitting are and you can try it out with stuff you already have at home

Just a heads up that if Tumblr asks me for ID tomorrow I will not be coming back until it stops asking for ID, if ever. If that's the case it was nice speaking to you all, a lot of my mutuals are in Discord servers I'm in but if you aren't, feel free to message me for my Discord. I won't be using any other social media so that's really going to be the only way to get in contact

You guys!
I read all your tags and you're SO kind and I am blushing and I love you ❤
Thank you so much!
Tired!
Finally got this off the pins


Best one yet, I think? Most done.
Buuuut

Something weird with these loops, at the feet of the peas?
They're kinda loose, or something parts aren't twined in the others securely? Idk.
Pea 3 is a bit odd.
I'm sorry pea 3! I still love you!

@noagskryf those were the funniest tags, lol
Ahhh, a secret - you twist the threads by manipulating the bobbins they're attached to, then pin, and then continue twisting the threads to make the pattern, which is held in place by the pins.
It's way easier than it looks, and then the learning curve shoots up again.


(It's upside down) got symptomatic and had to stop :(
But, could finish it the next time I pick it up!

Cross posting to my bobbin blog, too weak and faint to rewrite it

I have some gorgeous new green threads I want to try too :( x2
I always get the need to bobbin lace at night when I can barely sit up because I'm tired and dizzy from the day and can't do it :(
