The wooden, flat, tatting shuttle was made from the ancient Kauri from New Zealand by Knotwork.  https://www.lacebobbins.com/

The tatting shuttle and lace tools w/autumn leaves are from Alison P. Tolson,

IOLI: Introduction to Bobbin Lace (project practice)

This is my 2nd attempt of Continental Bobbin lace project.   Pattern:   cKaren H Thompson, 2020

The first one I made - had multiple errors!    Good to try again and create without mistakes.  Initially, I didn't really notice when I'd make a wrong twist!  

I'm using LizBeth size 20 fiber:   631 purple, 615 yellow, 622 pink, 686 aqua, 696 orange & 649 blue.

This project uses a sewing edge.  Once you get the hang of it .... 

This is my 2nd try with the pattern:

Bracelet, Bookmark or Bobbin Holder.

I'm a student in the follow-up class (December) via zoom.   The beginner bobbin lace workshop is also listed if anybody wants to give this a try.   These are being offered by The Lace Museum -- if interested check out their webpage.   There are actually a few workshops listed - check out their site:

IOLI: Introduction to Bobbin Lace (2nd post)

 Continued from previous post ....

The next project:

'Continental Bobbin' - needs a re-do, a few mistakes!

cKaren H Thompson, 2020

I used perle coton No 8:   colors 3823, 392, 353, 818, 644, 758

There is a bonus pattern included [which I have not attempted], Jean Jagendorf's Midland's Bobbin.   I have the lace bobbins wound, and hope to give it a try (soon).

The final project:  First Torchon Sampler  

Pattern:   cKaren H Thompson, 2020

I am using perle coton No. 8:  colors 743, 799, 224, 471, and 3042.  I need to finish it!

I learned A LOT in 4 days.   Loads of thx to Karen Thompson & IOLI.  Fingers crossed there will be another Bobbin Lace class beyond the basics.   Meanwhile, practice, practice, practice : )   Cross - Twist - repeat

If you are interested in taking A 12-Hour Introduction to Bobbin Lace , it is being offered via the Lace Museum.   Link Here:   https://thelacemuseum.org/workshops.html.
