Your Learning Journey
The Basics: Snakes & Bookmarks
Prepare to immerse yourself in the art of bobbin lace! Your journey begins with engaging patterns designed to introduce you to new stitches. Although some patterns may feature many repetitions, rest assured — this repetition is a method to strengthen your skills and keep your knowledge sharp.
After you've perfected the snakes, we'll jump into an exciting bookmark that showcases ground stitch and lovely fans! Next, we'll discover the delightful Honeycombe and venture into a whimsical cloth stitch path adorned with playful spiders.
Navigating Corners
Prepare to enhance your skills! Building on the techniques you've already mastered, our next exciting project delves into the exhilarating idea of navigating "around a corner."
You might feel an "uh oh" as you face this challenge, but rest assured — it's simpler than you expect to master that "simple" corner. We'll strengthen this technique with a stunning fan edging, where you'll also discover how to achieve a pretty edge.
