If you get into white work embroidery, you might discover cutwork. And when you start doing cutwork, you might get curious about incorporating detached elements. And before you know it the fabric is gone, you are making needle lace, and there goes the rest of your week.

Buttonhole stitch - not even once.

I was working on a project and had to cut out this piece of ground. I noticed the patterns the shadows made decided to take some photos.

#needle lace #it’s so pretty #and omg look at how even everything is #and it lays flat #reblog #I struggle with tension when I do knotted laces

This is what I’ve been working on for the month of April!

This tatted bracelet with a needle lace butterfly is a gift for one of my family members and I think it turned out very nice

#attempt #needle lace #tatting #shh ignore my other wip #I’ll get back to it #but LOOK at this #it’s so pretty #the demons I had to fight to figure out how I wanted to do the butterfly pattern #you probably can’t tell but its based off an origami butterfly #the pattern is actually a square that I folded and then sewed together #there are so many paper butterflies around my house rn #the bracelet only took me like 3 days but that butterfly is like 3 weeks of work #and it’s folded so you can’t even see all the stitches from this angle #but i love it so much #I think I’m going to re-make it now that I know what I’m doing #there are a few alterations that I want to try

This is part of a bigger project I’m working on but I kinda like the one post a month thing so here we go!

I’m trying to learn how to connect multiple motifs together and this is the first one

#attempt #needle lace #I love how you can see it coming together at the top #it really is a trust the process kind of craft #I finally learned how to do the ‘o’ stitches neatly #spacing them is interesting though #and also having to couch them down #wip

“Cloud Walker” Time spent (from pricking): 45hrs

This time I wanted to try something a little less complicated line work wise and focus on keeping the fillings more even and neat. Also, color!!!

#attempt #needle lace #I timed myself for this one #45hrs in 19 days #and it’s not even the size of a pencil #i love it #this is actually a doodle from one of my sketch books #and now it exists in a 3d space #I saw something that said that needle lace could take about 7 hours per cm2 #I think I kinda get it now

After 3 months of on and off working, my needle lace project is finally done!

It was so fun to try out a bunch of different stitches and techniques. I have a lot of room to improve but I’m really proud of how it came out!

#attempt #needle lace #ever since I hurt my wrist from crocheting too much I’ve been trying to find a new hobby to become obsessed with #I think this might be it #but I swear trying to trace the path for the cordonnet took so much time #I’m perfectly aware that this was needlessly complicated #I just couldn’t stop myself #and I’m glad I did it because I learned SO MUCH #also the picots took a while to figure out tension wise but they came out so nice #will I ever attempt something this complicated ever again? probably #and it’s only 3 in tall!!!#there was nothing like the feeling of finally picking up and actually holding the lace in my hands #10/10 will do again

I still do bobbin lace btw. Just not very often or for very long. I put in 2 hours today which due to my skills being rusty was only another spider and a bit of footside. I finally ran out of pins, so I'm pulling some from the center where everything's already secured.

Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize

If you're clumsy enough with the hook and yarn, crochet can be all three

it's a well-known fact in the textile crafting community that "making objects from textiles" is an entirely separate hobby from "having a collection of materials to make things with."

crafters often refer to this collection as a "stash" or a "hoard."

it's normal to have, but sometimes comes with a certain awkwardness.

the problem is that it takes a very long time to make things from textiles - and it is extremely quick, fun and easy to get more materials.

Presents, impulse purchases, leftovers from other projects, things you bought FULLY intending to make something that you changed your mind about...

Another problem is that you genuinely DO have a plan for the materials! your intentions and desires are THERE!

and admitting that it isn't going to happen - or that your mind has changed, or you're no longer able to do them - can be really painful!

it's incredibly hard to say: "we are not the people who can do these things. we are not the people who WILL do these things."

but sometimes you need to.

it's a natural part of life. it might feel painful to let go of things that you really want to use, but won't. But clearing them out - and the attached guilt and shame - will make room for a lot more things in your life. Room for things you'll use. Room for the projects you'll do.

Room and space - not for hanging on to the shades of the ambitions and intentions and people you aren't - not being held for lives you don't have - but room and space for who you are today, and who you'll be tomorrow, and for the things you'll do.

Room and space to grow.
