Some crafty things I have been up to recently and for some reason decided to post as a tangent to a discussion about architecture. Lacemaking, sashiko mending, and the rosary I made this summer.
Here are some very early pieces. Bear in mind I only started on Saturday and am still learning!

...and I wonder how much this preference for simplicity and unfussy clean lines ends up inadvertently excluding or rendering invisible the contributions of lacemakers -- traditionally feminised labour (lacemaking) seen as a frippery while the tailor (traditionally male) still gets to contribute.

Got some good advice at aforementioned yarn shop, too. I have inherited an alb that is quite a bit too short for me, so I plan to use lace to lengthen it. Only it will be crochet, not lace, because "learn lacemaking" is probably too steep a project even if I have another two years for it.

Many of these refugees found employment in local lacemaking industries thanks to the word of Lady Julia Inglefield of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, and this photo (along with many others) was included in a scrapbook of hers which is now in our collection.

Also people were coerced into lacemaking in East Asia and yeah that tracks (there’s even research into how it happened in South Asia—India specifically) but who did it? Where? When? How did that evolve into mechanized lace factories? Where do crochet lacemakers still work? … Nothing. Just. Nothing.

A handwork arts school for spinning, weaving, natural dyes, lacemaking, needlework etc, with rentable equipment, a library, a science/research lab, meeting spaces and an event center meant for this community and purpose at affordable rates - not the Wedding and Corporate Party Industrial Complex.
Take a break from the discourse and quote this with a business you would want to start if you could afford to lose money on it

Snag Nab It is easy to use on loose knits or tweeds,if you have no other sewing tools, or your eyesight is poor. A bit rough.
I prefer using a small crochet hook 0.6 - 1 mm
Easiest is a tiny latch hook. Latch closes as you pull through.
Insert from the back, pull snag through. Keep excess.

Me too!! I never realized it either until I would randomly stumble across videos from Italian accounts on Instagram doing bobbin lacemaking and I would sit there and go “YOU JUST DO THAT BY HAND?!” Combining it with FFXIV is just so peak (chef’s kiss)✨🙂↕️

There would be a series of patterns from easy to hard and the fastest to complete with the fewest mistakes wins
