Since learning to tat, I haven't done any bobbin lace, so I decided to start a project. I'm to the 2nd large filling now, but I broke threads on 2 bobbins! So, it's retrolacing to uncover enough of the broken threads to attach new ones. This is Russian tape lace done the way it's done in Vologda. It's pretty slow going, because there are many, many sewings, but it's never boring as there are plaits & picos, false plaits, leaves, and turns to keep you busy.

Beautiful! Maybe someday I'll do this too!
So pretty! Love the sheen on those threads (and the shade).

Wonderful!!!
And how far have you progressed with this? What sort of picots are you making - single or double thread ones?
Wonderful works! Your blog is very interesting!
Thanks everyone!
Pene, I finished this one & did a second one for my niece's bathroom - framed it. I did single picos.
Wow! Fantastic butterfly!
Can you tell me anything about recoving from a broken thread please? I've just broken a thread on my Torchon handkerchief edging. Do I try to knot the thread togather again? Or leave the broken end where it is and join a new thread and bobbin from a bit higher up?
Arggggg..!
