Bobbin lace and tatting

On a Wednesday nights I try and get to Stitched Up craft group meeting held at the Textile Workshop. I usually take some hand sewing that I can do easily whilst chatting. Last night I realised that I don't really have anything portable so I dug out my lace bobbins which need the old thread unravelling and my tatting shuttle which I haven't touched for years. Hopefully I'll get the bobbins sorted and paired ready to set up a practise pillow to take in one week for everyone to have a go.

quick practise run with the shuttle last night

my favourite bobbins are black with metal work like these
