#carrickmacross — Public Fediverse posts

There is an article in #BritishVogue about #Carrickmacross lacemakers and a project they did. #Ireland is doing a fabulous job celebrating their lace history. I'm so jealous of their success!

My supervisor is unimpressed with my second #Carrickmacross lace attempt. She also stole the sleeve for the new #SalemMA witch embroidery scissors when I wasn't looking.

More #Carrickmacross #lace by Theresa Kelly, who was the teacher for the beginner class and designed the piece I did.

If you want to see other examples of #Carrickmacross there's a site by a woman who wrote a highly recommended book on it.

The "demo" page has some video. #lace

I did my first #Carrickmacross lace this week. It's really an odd construction. You place pattern + netting + fine muslin in a sandwich and work through it all. Later you cut away either fabric or netting or both.

I don't have the right scissors, but otherwise I was able to do the beginner piece. Mistakes were made. But I liked it.
