Is it just me, or does the twiat look just like the crossover? Im not understanding the difference

If you want to succeed at something, you have to be willing to suck at it. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing badly!

First I want to say, thank you for all the videos you've done on Bobbin Lace. I wanted to get started on this 10+ yrs ago but didn't, or maybe I started getting supplies and life happened and I have bobbins in a box somewhere (4 moves later - who knows where). I've recently ordered new bobbins and have watched a ton of video's. 2nd is that of all the videos I've watched, I cannot recall anyone explaining when to use full stitch vs half stitch or cloth stitch. I get the differences but just looking at patterns doesn't tell me when to use full vs half, when I need to do an extra twist at an end or mid point pin. I don't want to get into a project, no matter how simple, to find I messed up early on as I didn't close a stitch or did when I should/shouldn't have. :( And 3rd, I'm sad to see you've not done a video on bobbin lace in a long time. :( Very sad as many of us enjoy hearing your voice and the way you teach/instruct. Here's hoping you see this and can respond cause if I have these questions, I'm sure others do as well. And if you don't respond, I understand as I go into my gmail about once a week just to find I missed something that was time sensitive. Anyway, Thank you a million times for what you've taught me in this art.

What a beautiful view! I love seeing your sketch books. I hope you had a wonderful time! 😊

Very well explained...thanks for sharing !!!

Oh Tanya you're so talented. Thank you for showing your sketch book.

We have stayed there. Love that hotel! Happy anniversary

Does pillow have to be firm?

When I started bobbin lace 26 years ago, I used a broken dining room chair cushion, sticks with masking tape pen like caps, and number 10 crochet cushion

What a fabulous memory journal. My oldest daughter was born in ‘74 and her sister in ‘77. Your memories sure do coincide with my daughters’ memories. How nostalgic to hear you voice these memories. Thank you.

I absolutely loved watching you put this together and I’m excited to see how you utilize it. I love the crinkling bag sounds. 🤓

Great tutorial! This video is perfectly paced and repetitive to really help the viewer understand what's going on without being boring. It's given me some great ideas to make my own stuff, too. Great job!

Wow,you are a real force

No. 8 thread is the same as #30. There are also no. 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 100. The size of thread is according to the project you are going to make. The higher the number, the thinner thread will be. Thanks for sharing, great ideas.

So... The spider is basically a _giant_ whole stitch structure made from normal whole stitches?

Je viens d'apprendre beaucoup de choses du début à la fin, je suis ravie car je commence la dentelle aux fuseaux, je suis passionnée, et vous expliquez très bien (sans le son) , mais les gestes suffisent, je vais vous suivre assurément. Un grand merci de partager votre savoir.

I love how you explain the content of the books. Thank you

I appreciate you talking. I find that it helps me understand what you're doing. I am trying to learn this from videos, because I haven't found found in person instruction. Thank you for your videos.

I kinda miss gus and snoopy. I am a silent viewer of yours 12 years ago. I was 10 years old at that time.

Hi. I'm a beginner and would like the pattern used here. As this is your own design, are you able to share please so I can follow along? Thank you

💕💕💕أبداع وجمال شكرا لكى

Really awesome tutorial, with nice story times... After a rather long time I was able to do this pattern. Thrilled! The wonders of working the lace threads came clear. Thanks to you and your kind explanations, I finally understand and now have an ever growing enthousiasm. And I certainly agree about winding the bobbins 😁

Thank you for this. I'm a trainee embroidery artist, and have done both needle lace, needle weaving, and kumihimo (along with the lace effects in white work embroidery).... But feel it's important for needle artists to try a really wide variety of traditional needle arts. Bobbin lace intimidated me, and also wasn't sure if patterns were limited to geometric designs... But think this is definitely something i should be trying: and learning as part of rounding out my studies!! Thank you for making such an easy to understand video.... It's almost as if the bobbins are in a dance (thinking the grand dances where people would start in pairs, then exchange partners in formations).... It's a really beautiful technique, and think itll be lovely to work with silk threads (the sensation of working with silk is wonderful, and a favourite thread).... But obviously will begin with cheap cotton floss threads!

Hi Tanya! love seeing this larger journal! I never know what to do with the big bags. Never thought of making a junk album! You've got my wheels spinning now! I'm looking forward to seeing how the journal pages come out. See ya!

I tried the spider and for a first try it didn't look to bad not as neat as your's but close enough . Need practice but I think I understand what I'm doing.

Hmmm, I think I didn’t order enough bobbins!

You do *NOT* talk too much!

I really appreciate that you’re going slowly and the narration, too!

De-nial - isn’t that a river in Egypt? 😅😅😅😅

You’re Canadian, aren’t you? 😊

Awesome video thank you so much I appreciate it

Hi Tanya. Cool way to do a journal! P.S we have Krispy Kreme here in Ontario.

I always love to see what crafty stuff you are working on, Tanya. Can't wait to see your Seattle book! Hope you are all doing great and staying cool for the summer.

Hello, I too am a junk journaler. I am enjoying your podcasts, thank you for taking the time to create. You keep mentioning Bermuda. I am a post Canadian Expat of beautiful Bermuda. Maybe we were there at the same time ?

Oh goodness I didn't realize the pins would make a squeaky noise!

Excellente démonstration, je commence seulement la dentelle aux fuseaux et je bloquais sur ce point, et avec vous j'ai très bien compris, à très bientôt et merci

Thank you for stopping me from buying loads of stuff. I am puzzled about what to do at the end.

Just started found it easy to follow great for when I get more familiar with it

Thank you! I've watched a few of your videos and started my first bookmark yesterday! Made a mistake along the way, but it was consistent so I'm leaving it, as it looks like a planned pattern. You were a big help, I appreciate that.

I have hoarded my LGB’S for a few years now. I started making junk journals a few years ago. I love working with them. Back some time ago, I found a whole set of the Walt Disney books, encyclopedia’s. I bought the whole set and made my grand daughter a journal for her memories. I used the books from my son’s birth year and my DIL’s birth year to decorate it with. I think mom and dad loved it way more than she did because she was just a year old. It turned out so cute!

I’m a beginner and you shared some great tips!

So helpful! Thank you!

You are amazing! So helpful. We are doing our 1st fair in July and you have helped with displaying our products.

Did you forward the money you refunded to the OG creator of the pattern?

I know this video is 3 years old and you probably already know this…but you can heat the gold foil up with a heat gun and it will peel up. Makes it so much easier to get the staples out.

Love your video's.

It was so interesting to hear you reminisce and see some of the memories. It was like opening a treasure chest.🏴‍☠ (Mary)

So fun to journal about our lives. How did you see that page in to an already sewn signature?

30 minutes in: I’m gonna end up doing this for the next several years aren’t I? ~wiggles for emphasis
