Hi everyone... I just joined a few days ago, and life decided to prevent me from introducing myself before today :)
I am very interested in learning all about various lace making techniques :) Years ago, I wanted to learn to tat, and tried via library books. Looking up "lace", I discovered there were many ways to make it, rather than just tatting. (Or knit or crochet lace, both of which I also do) Anyway, I had bought myself a "beginner" kit/tools for netting, but at that time, I couldn't locate any bobbin lace equipment. I also couldn't get the hang of tatting. It all ended up "on the back burner" for several years, as we moved from one house to another. Since moving, I picked up tatting again, and this time, everything clicked. I also got into crocheting doilies and such, previously only crocheting with yarn. This past year, I finally got around to knitting lace. Through various internet and email groups, I've learned about all sorts of different lace techniques - having "met" a few people who are into SCA and RenFairs and such. I've always had an interest in Victorian times, myself, and I tend to favour traditional things. Sometimes, I feel like a "walking anachronism" myself, having been brought into the 21st century kicking and screaming, lol. Though I must admit, I wouldn't want to give up my computer now for anything ;) Ok, enough of that stuff.... I joined this list hoping to learn more about the how-tos and where-tos of bobbin lace making, as well as refining my other lace making abilities. I am a multicrafter, primarily in fibre arts, I am a stay at home wife, have a grown son and DIL, four grandkids, two dogs, and three cats. More details about me and my crafts can be found (for those interested, instead of taking up list space) in my blog and my photo albums. Thanks for letting me join :) and I'm looking forward to "meeting" new friends.... Anne C.
