Paula Harten commented on Administrator's group Identification-History

"I agree with Loretta and Lorelei. I had not thought about the needle weaving in reticella, as I have really no experience with it. So, yes I would call it needle lace. Now the question is, how old is it? Paula"

Paula Harten commented on Administrator's group Identification-History

"I think this beautiful work is woven. Notice there are places where it is coming apart. There are vertical threads and then single threads woven back and forth, not two at a time like bobbin lace. Definitely not buttonhole…"

unknown tool

"I realize that this is a many years old post, but I've started to learn an old hand weaving style (card weaving) And these look a lot like some of the tools I'm learning to use. A version of a shuttle, weaving pick, and maybe beater."

Actually going back to tatting now is good, it is nice to have something small to sit and do now and again. Split rings, Mock rings, and Split chains were not invented when I originally learned, - and I have just been shown how to do split rings, - and they are so useful!! Take up tatting again - for those quiet times of waiting around - like in Dr. waiting rooms - which we seem to do a lot recently!
