I received an email / newsletter from Karen Bovard-Sayre, about her Needle Lace Arts, Teneriffe Lace kits. Now I own a kit (or 2) and decided this is the day to look at her video step-by-step, to get the threads on the wooden loom.
Guess what? She makes it so east to start -- So I've got my pieces out and have started the foundations.
The mess before the weaving and knotting begin on the looms .... 
For my tatting artist friends, you may recall she is the Author of many split ring tatting books. PLUS - shuttles. PLUS - ETSY. May want to give the looms a 'go'.
