I got tired of looking around and seeing a lack of quality guidance on crocheted lace. Many of these vintage techniques are passed down know through generational knowledge and has gotten either lost in translation or lost from the sheer time that day-to-day responsibilities have taken up. So many people are struggling with it (okay maybe not a ton of people, but certainly there must be a few out there like myself), and there just hasn’t been a solid resource created to help them learn the intricacies of crocheting with lace and thread to make exquisite handmade lace work or provide work to perfect their current skills that grandma taught them.
