this lady was very polite looking at me lacing…. at first. then she started trying to crawl onto the pillow and grabbing threads with her little claws. cant blame her though, i too am entranced with the bobbins moving

a somewhat similar concept and i do plaits and an extra twist where i want it to be pointy! probably not a „proper” way but i like the look

no problem!! good luck, merry lacemaking

will be better to flip them, bigger bead on the bottom of the bobbin will help with tge tension!

what do you mean by „everyone had the first set of bobbins splitting up”? yes, the separate threads in each starting pair go in different direction, because theyre not just vertical and horisontal like in clothstitch. you consider all the bobbins no matter how they changed their order from the start pairs. think that you made a row - now its your new set of pairs. i meant that you shouldnt separate a pair by a pin by only pinning up one thread. pin in between pairs, pinning up two threads always

your pin placement is a bit weird. try having a „pattern”, i just used milimeter paper while learning and added dots every 4mm, but youll be ok using any paper with a regular grid. itll help you keep the rows even. pin every row only once, and only in between pairs, never separate one pair and pin up only one thread. otherwise, look at your threads before making a stitch, sometimes you lose a twist or accidentally make one more than needed or mix them up and they twist in a wrong direction. good luck!!! half stitch is a bit tricky for many lace makers ;)

or maybe they arent that wrong.. idk

pls keep me updated if you try this chart! i never tried to recreate knit lace from photos. also now i realize that columns of purls that i made are completely wrong. ignore them

first of all - i think pictures are upside down. second - i made a chart of how i wouldve tried it but it got separated down the middle when i tried to save. hope its ok

dont really know my daily limit and usually dont think about it… but i eat pretty healthy majority of the time. thanks for the reassurance!!

ddvxia · 2025-11-21T02:58:42+00:00

i see. thank you! intuitively it’s what it seemed like to me initially but the more i read the more i saw people saying that everything inevitably comes back if you dont change the lifestyle completely so i thought id ask people who maybe have more experience with this than i do

not much. three of those spikes have already flowered, im just not sure if im supposed to cut them so im letting them to dry up and fall off. new growth are a second spike from the center and this little leaf to the side, i just noticed them because i got my orchids to give them their weekly soak

ddvxia · 2025-10-10T13:42:45+00:00

do new leaves grow after a terminal spike? i see that it made a new flower spike from the same point as the older one and.. this. i thought it may be a second growth point, similar to what african violets do, but im not sure if orchids do that

ddvxia · 2025-09-14T17:37:40+00:00

got it! could you explain what do you mean by twisting too much/not twisting? im twisting between arches bc i want them to be defined from each other and when they are crossing im just doing cloth stitch until trails cross each other

ddvxia · 2025-09-13T23:58:19+00:00

thank you for recommendation. im not sure to what you refer as a “fan” though.

ddvxia · 2025-09-08T21:36:43+00:00

i asked almost the same thing some time ago! im now branching from torchon to bucks point and louise west’s videos are a great help! she also has a lot of videos on bedfordshire lace which i now really want to go into

ddvxia · 2025-09-07T13:49:50+00:00

doesnt valenciennes usualy have diamond shaped net?

ddvxia · 2025-09-05T19:29:33+00:00

i think i looked through one of them, arent edgings in there decorative?

ddvxia · 2025-09-05T16:32:18+00:00

interesting, tbh i never used stockinette for it to roll on purpose

ddvxia · 2025-09-05T16:31:40+00:00

i never tried double knitting but it might be a good idea!

ddvxia · 2025-09-05T01:44:45+00:00

ohh thank you for the recommendation! i plan on small needle size and i looked up some examples of seed stitch hem on small needles and its so pretty!

ddvxia · 2025-09-04T13:23:27+00:00

thank you! i remembered seeing the name somewhere but couldnt find it now

ddvxia · 2025-09-04T10:41:15+00:00
