If you give a nibling a knife
Yeah euh hey remember when I said I'd illustrate this gem of @inexplicifics ??
If they have lessons,
They'll get sweaty and need a bath
So I made the next 3 panels but they are currently lost in my moving boxes...😅
Will post them as soon as I find them
In case you want to chat about lacemaking. I am here. My blog is not about lacemaking but I'm making lace since years.
Thank you:)

I got bobbins!
Thank you for everyone's advice
I got my hand on these nice square bobbins today and they work much better than the squeakers XD. I've only used them a bit but I really like them , the only change I would make if I ever buy more is get something a bit heavier.
I also got myself a pinholder bracelet and I've found it makes picking up pins much easier on my hands :)
Almost done with my first attempt at carving a lace bobbin
I don't know who needs to hear this, but
YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!
STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!
YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!
THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!
boy it's me the textiles speaking to you inside your head. you need the yarn. you need thread. your soul hungers to participate in the act of creation. you must feed it. you must buy so many beads.
It will get cold again eventually. The summer will not last forever. I’m not doomed to live in this unbearable heat for all eternity. <- said while gripping the countertop so hard that the tile is starting to crack
Soooo my diy skewer bobbins aren't working out so great for me.... mostly bc they tend to unravel and they're a bit light.
I'm finally breaking down and buying proper bobbins but I'm not 100% sure what to get. Ik that I don't want spangled ones(tried it, the noise pisses me off ) but otherwise I'm pretty open.
Any advice?
I strongly recommend what I call "plain ass stick" bobbins, these are the ones you see 98 yr old grandmas use to speed run lace. Plastic gets staticy sometimes, wood is obviously ideal, metal is a major fuss and only to be used if you have the average grip strength of a gym bro.
Didn't know metal bobbins were a thing, I have some issues with my hands wich give me trouble gripping very small/narrow objects but I actually like a bit of weight wich is why I tried out spangles

Do you know what type of lace you want to do? If there is a continental style you particularly like you could get the right bobbins for that style.
Otherwise maybe a basic continental square like:
10 Pairs of square continental lace making bobbins. Made from polished Guatambu wood and have a smooth finish. Each bobbin measures approx 1
Or a more rounded continental style like :
10 Pairs of continental lace making bobbins. Made from polished Guatambu wood and have a smooth finish. Each bobbin measures approx 10.5 cm
These should both work fine for most things.
Thank you for the resources, on ofmy main problems is that I'm not exactly locked into 1 style in particular as of yet

There are a great variety of square bobbins pictured here. You are purchasing a dozen unless noted otherwise like the 2 dozen and 3 dz sets.
these were my first bobbins and i really like them still. i like that they sit flat and have a good shape and weight. very easy to use and go fast if you desire. i'm pretty ambivilant on the double head, i could take it or leave it but i would recommend NOT getting the small head as even a triple half hitch will pop off those.
i DO recommend this shop if you're in the US. the owner is wonderful and if you reach out to her she has a bunch of stuff that isn't listed so she might be able to help you find your perfect fit
Thank you so much I'll look into it

the 'ah fuck my jeans got a hole in them, i guess i'll patch them up' to 'i need to customise every piece of clothing i own' pipeline is very real and i'm going down it like it's a waterslide
Breaking news in the delulu midnight crafting world:
I worked 2 pairs I shouldn't have into a strip and now get to undo about 1/8 of my work :)
This is your friendly reminder that if you too forgot how late it is please look at a clock and go to bed if appropriate lol
Gods, I need to pay attention both to my crafting and to my bedtime.
Also this looks so pretty!
Thank you, it takes forever but um excited to wear it

Uhm yeah so this is why I've disappeared recently....
I got my hands on an old (probably Bedfordshire) collar pattern and am kinda just giving it my best.
I've had to swap my clothepins for skewers+1/2 gromits bc 22pairs is not manageable with pins for bobbins
I'm getting better stitch by stitch and think I'll actually get this thing to be wearable.
Anyways it's slow going and my life is pretty busy rn so we'll see how long it takes.

The pattern comes from "the lavendon collection of bobbin lace patterns" by Valerie Harris.
As said before it's on the Internet archive and I think it's an interesting read even beyond the gorgeous patterns:)

May I add some forgotten French ones? :
