>Beads and lace

Played with beads and lace a little bit this week. Don’t know if I am going to keep this or frog it. It was more an experiment than a project. I know some people would say that was hours of work. Well yes it was, but it was just meant as a study not something to keep. I think doing studies every now and again gives you a feel for how things work. So then you can incorporate the ideas into a project and you know ahead of time how things will look and work that way you will want to keep the finished project.
Just fyi size 30 dmc thread and rocaille beads the fact that I used rocaille beads is why I know it is just a practice piece. becasue a real piece would have been done with tiny seed beads. I made about 3 yards
>Crochet Oya lace book in English

I have been looking for a while for an Oya lace book in English. I have found one and it is available on Amazon for an inexpensive price compared to the ones from Turkey. This book has the crochet version of Oya not the needle version. It also includes 2 samples of tatted versions (on page 54 and the same photo is on the cover) in the photos but there are not any tatting patterns in the book. If you already know how to tat you could make them from the photos.

>7 types of lace… I think only 4

>In the comment section on this post on this blog someone said there are 7 types of lace:
- knitting
- crochet
- weaving
- bobbin lace
- tatting
- hairpin lace
- needle lace
I think the person was confused, because a lot of these are in the same four categories. Which is my opinion. She seemed to be naming laces, of which there are way more than seven, like hundreds! Looks like she was trying to name techniques and didn’t succeed, the lace fairy has 5 techniques on her site but in looking at them, her last one is a combination of multiple other techniques so it would still break down into these four categories. Some laces can incorporate more than one of the techniques. That is why, once you learn one lace, it is easy to learn another as they may share similar techniques.
- loop lace = knitting, crochet, hairpin lace, Romanian, oya…
- knotted lace = tatting and netting, American Macramé, oya…
- woven lace = bobbin lace is a sort of weaving, battenburg and other tape laces, teneriffe….
- needle lace = Romanian, teneriffe, battenberg, oya , beading…
OK, I do:
hairpin, needle, crochet, tatting, teneriffe lace, bobbin lace, Romanian, macramé, hand loom weaving, polka spider web lace, nanduti, battenberg/battenburg lace, oya, beading etc….. the list goes on and on.
I pretty much do some in each category.
Trying to learn knitting and weaving.
What laces do you make?

>The nice lady who runs the site on Turkish crochet has agreed to let me use her stuff (crochet images); in trade, she gets to use my stuff (patterns and tutorials for this type of lace pulled from her images), as well. So in my spare time I’ll be doing that. Ha ha, like I have that; but, I am going to try real hard to find some so I can work on this.
Below are the first set of posts on her blog;some are not lace edgings. Those with stars I will be skipping. The images below are hers, not mine, to show you what I will be working on. I will work on some that are not edgings if it is a simple enough pattern. Because I am not able to hold the lace in my hand, my stitch count may not be the exact as hers because I cannot move the stitches around to see the hidden chains and things of that sort. But, the look will be similar and just as useful.

>I was left a comment on one of my oya/turkish lace posts from a lovely person who has a blog all about this type of lace. The patterns are passed down visually, so her patterns are posted in the form of pictures. This means you have to know how to do crochet and special stitches first. I think I can duplicate all of them and make patterns, if the owner of the other blog is willing to let me do this. I will work on this in what little spare time I have to save these patterns into a written language for those who don’t know how to pull a pattern visually. I am hoping she will let me. If not, sorry, but please look at her site as there are a lot of lovelies there.

>For those who drink soda and crochet

I crochet but don’t drink soda ,so I wouldn’t be able to make this project. For those who do, here is something to do if you are bored, but first you have to drink six sodas. Not sure how anyone could crochet on that sugar rush, wink wink. So, if you want to do this, go here. This was sent to me by Maven, a friend in search of oya patterns.

Fairy I embroidered late Saturday night for a swap. Skin, wings and branch use size 30 crochet thread; rest is size 5 embroidery thread. I was experimenting with thickness of thread for depth and softness. Don’t know if it worked well.
More Oya links:
The first one actually shows the knot stitch up close for a second ,and you can replay that part to learn it. The second is eye candy.

This came to me in an email from Maven.
“Kind of Oyas and Embroidery Technique” by Taciser ONUK, Publisher: T. Is Bankasi Cultural Publication, ISBN 975-458-008-01
Can be purchased here if someone wants one. I want one but can’t read this to know how to order it, so I hope someone else enjoys it.
Still not having much luck finding more about this lace.
An online book, or parts of one.
A web site with a few pictures
In a minute ago has a post on Oya too.
