I usually use this cotton thread for shuttle tatting and it makes a lovely lace. That made me want to try crocheting it as well, and this is the result. I'm thinking i can make another strip like this and use them as cuffs on a blouse, swipe to see ➡️
Thoughts? Will it look nice? What kind of fabric should i look for and what kind of a blouse/shirt/top should the cuffs go with?

Is¹ there anyone else out there doing "lace" by interlinking braids of three² yarns instead of two?
Because my brain was to bored by just weaving with two³ bobbins and had the weird thought of "Lace making, but with weaving!" and i could not find anything like that on the net⁴.

1: Or was?
2: Or More.
3: Or rather four, if you do lace you know what i mean.
4: Though i am new to lace making and don't know much terminology to search for.

A cussion with a piece of "lace" pinned on top. But its made by braiding with triplets of bobbins and occasionally linking the outer yarns of neighboring braids. From left to right the yarn is colored bright blue, white and pink. The makeshift bobbins that dangle from the bottom are nine binder clips with the wire part flipped away from the clip and the yarn is wound around that. The upper part of the lace is linked very tight, the lower third has the middle braid is linked in an alternating fashion to the left and right braids and does a zig zag.

Another one from my never-ending list of crafts: shuttle tatting! This is a ye olden maid kind of skill. It's tiny, finicky and not particularly forgiving. I love it 😌
This is a shuttle and ball pattern, using my favourite Aerlit shuttle with the tiny hook. Gonna continue this pattern until it's choker length and either attach it lengthways to a velvet ribbon or just use a bit of silk ribbon in the back for closure. It'll be gifted to a dear friend who likes to dress up for ren fairs etc.

In rural Sweden it was tradition for brides to wear a golden crown on their wedding day. If you get married in a country church there’s is in many places still a crown available for renting on your big day.
But in some parts of Dalecarlia there was a second crown. One stashed away in some hidden place. It was no less special, despite not being kept on hallowed ground. You see - if a maiden died unwed, she would be afforded the privilege to wear another golden crown to the wake.

I present to you: Jungfrulik.

A little late posting this, but here's a snowflake I tatted for a white elephant gift exchange. It's the most complicated piece I'd made at the time, but I learned a lot about tensioning my threads and working with beads. I added some beads at the snowflake tips for practice and also to add a bit of variety.
