If you don't want me at my *crafts supplies scattered everywhere, loudly cursing at my mistakes* you don't deserve me at my *smiling at my finished piece*

I don't understand how lace is made, but looking at the bobbins and pins and patterns … listen buddy I know math when I see it. This is A Math Thing. Obviously.

Right away I want to know:

Can I encode information in lace?

How much of an expert must one be to make your own patterns?

What about the creation of surfaces?

Knitting is more accessible, and people have been exploring math with knitting forever.

But what possibilities does lace offer?

What is the theory of lace?

An excerpt from Mathematics Magazine Vol. 91, No. 4 (October 2018), pp. 307-309

Shows I'm hardly the first person to muse about this. Need to get my hands on the rest of this article, obviously.

thinking today about how much I love literally all fiber arts. I am hopeless at almost every other kind of art, but as soon as there is thread, yarn, or string I can figure it out fairly quickly.

I learned how to knit when i was eight, started sewing at nine, my dad taught me rock climbing knots around that age, I figured out from a book how to make friendship bracelets, I've made my own drop spindle to make yarn with, and more recently I've picked up visible mending. I've learned embroidery through fixing my overalls, and this year I've learned how to darn and how to do sashiko (which I did for the first time today). After years of being unable to crochet I finally figured it out last night and made seven granny squares in just a few hours.

I want to learn every fiber art that I can. I want to quilt, I want to use a spinning wheel, I want to weave, I want to learn tatting, I want to learn how to weave a basket, I want to learn them all. If I could travel through time and meet anyone in the Bible, high on my list are the craftsmen who made the Tabernacle.

I want to travel the world and learn the fiber arts of every culture, from the gorgeous Mayan weaving in Guatemala, to the stunning batik of Java, to Kente in Ghana. I want to sit at the feet of experienced men and women and watch them do their craft expertly and learn from them.

Of every art form I've seen, it's fiber arts that tug most at my heartstrings.

No matter which textile craft you look at, it has weaving in ends, and everyone hates it with a burning passion.

Doing fibre arts in public is always very funny because no one except other fibre artists ever has any clue what I’m doing.  Like, I thought it was common knowledge what knitting and crocheting looks like?  But people keep asking me if I’m knitting or crocheting when I’m doing cross stitch or tatting.  I don’t expect anyone to know what tatting is or looks like but I did expect them to know it’s not knitting.

Hii, I'm Iris and I'm making tatted doilies! I'm currently a full time student dealing with long covid on top of an already stressful senior year, and I would like to be able to make some extra money to buy groceries and stuff.

At least 10% of each order will go towards a mutual aid fund, I can provide proof if requested!

Examples of my work:

Prices tend to start at $10 and go up depending on size/difficulty, but I can work on a sliding scale!

Placemat/centerpiece I tatted for my grandma this Christmas. Took me forever to tat if I'm being honest and I never want to count by 6's or 12's again.

Made using the Wild Rose Luncheon Set Pattern published in Dover Needlework Series book, "The Tatter's Treasure Chest" Edited by Mary Carolyn Waldrep

I love how I am able to tell exactly when I have become 'passable' at a skill (painting, crochet, tatting ect.) because that is the moment my mum stops complaining about me picking up a new hobby and starts asking me for free stuff

a little bit in my feelings about finishing this round. I started it in the veterinarian ultrasound clinic while I was waiting to find out what was wrong with my dog. it was liver cancer, and it was terminal. two days later she was dead. but the craft goes on. bit by bit, knot by knot. linking the past with the future. I never thought of this as her project. she was just part of my life, for so long. Anything I did - was it about her? generally not. it wasn't about her because she was the background radiation of my life. a photograph is not about the sun. but I think this doily is hers, now.

You know how, for a long time we didn't know nålebinding existed and people thought that those red socks were knitted and it turned out they weren't, they were made by nålebinding, you just had to know very specific details to tell which craft they were made by?

(these socks:)

I know a little bit about a lot of different fiber arts. I know: knitting, crochet, spinning, tatting, bobbin lace, needle lace, embroidery, and a little nålebinding.

Inspired by these socks, I want to create the most archaeologically confounding frankendoily out of all my crafts, and then I want to immediately commit it to a bog, for preservation. A tatted motif at the center, with a bobbin lace round around it. Maybe there's a knitted border with a crochet edge. Some needle lace motifs hanging around, but like, I'm gonna mix Romanian point lace with Battenberg styles. Something's getting embroidered somewhere. Idk.

And I'm gonna make the whole thing out of the most historically generic white cotton thread I can find, something that could maybe have been used hundreds of years ago so you can't tell when the frankendoily was made. Maybe I'll even make it over different decades of my life. Also I'm left handed, but I can do most things right handed too, and some of the crafts look slightly different depending on which hand you used as your dominant hand.

And then the whole thing is going in a bog, because bogs are really specifically good at preserving cloth, and I will go quietly into the void at the end of my life, knowing I leave behind me a very specific kind of chaos and confusion for some very specific future kindred soul.

If anyone has any additional crafts I should learn for the frankendoily, I'm all ears.

This handkerchief edging is taking way longer than I thought, probably because I keep stopping just to look at it
