The new rage…doily rugs…our grandparents made tiny doilies…we make gargantuan doilies! I adore it ❤

Hi knitting and crochet person here, you should look into blocking your original needle lace piece to get it to be flag. Pretty much just soaking it and laying it flat to dry kinda stretched out, it will help get the stitches to relax and make it not so warped. You can also pin open the lace holes in a foam mat to help define your design.

Now you are fully equipped to try nalbinding!

First, Link is adorable. Second, I probably wouldn't be able to focus long enough to finish it.

Soo cool! I’ve seen people take the same concept to make gigantic amigurumi (stuffed animals) try blocking both projects when you finish and they might lay flatter 😁

That's a great tip!

So glad I found this! I’ve had an interest in Armenian needle lace for a while now and was wondering if I could do a blown up yarn version for a shawl or something! Glad to know it works with yarn!

Oo it would make a gorgeous shawl! And it was definitely very warm and cuddly.

I love this rug! It's perfect 💖💖💖💖💖💖

Me, a crocheter: *stares in confusion* It looks so much like crochet but not. However, I now want to make a chonky-yarn rug, but in crochet, every round increases by 6 stitches, this number is...I think something to do with circumfrence/diameter/pi????? though I don't know the actual reason. It's really a lovely rug! Great Job!

I'd love to see a crochet rug!!

You say you don't know how to crochet but that's basically what you are doing 😊 It's easier and faster with a "needle" that catches the thread though, without the need to manipulate it so much 🤭

That is beautiful! I thought it would be crochet. Oh well. It was still fun to watch. Thankyou for sharing :)

That looks a very nice rug! I am doing sized up crocheted lace rigth now, edging as shawl with it. In my, very basic, knowledge of lace; you work it and then you block it wet and let it dry in that shape. Knitted and crocheted lace definitly is done so and always looks a bit wonky and bubbly before that. Perhaps other lace types not made in a frame uses the same? The rug does not seem to need it, but the smaller pieces migth be helped by blocking.

Great. ty

I really appreciate your willingness to experiment. Thank you for sharing!

The colour sets Link of nicely :) I did think this could be an awesome project for me, but with 4 cats it would get a lot of hair stuck to it!

I wonder if you could make a skirt or poncho...

You definitely should - it's such a fun hobby!

I am skilled and write about eastern European/Turkish colorwork knitted socks. I never heard of this type of lace. I have a whole bunch of antique lace pieces some of which I have inherited. I can identify tatting and crochet and knitting and macramé and bobbin lace quite often. I have sewn lace such as eyelet and pulled thread. But I wonder if I have some of this and I just didn’t know what it was called. Sometimes I think I have bobbin lace but I can’t be sure. Maybe this is it. That’s really cool. It looks really satisfying to produce. Must check this out again.

Love your rug, i would love 💓 to learn for real

Belíssimo trabalho!

Espero que eu também consiga fazer um trabalho lindo como o seu !😍

Crochet doily would be similar too

Have you tried any needle tatting the styles you have been looking into are similar, and I felt it was pretty easy. Also was easy to find books in English. Enjoy your videos.

I love how you adore your fur baby lol i have a cat and i love hime too lol

It's so pretty and looks like fun but I so do not need another yarn hobby.

How has that yarn held up as a rug?

Lovely work! Do you think this is an easier way to practice the different stitches than using tinier threads, or is this more difficult to work with?

Thanks! It's definitely not an easier way to practice Armenian needle lace unfortunately, mostly due to how hard it is to adjust the stitches as you go. I would recommend practicing with something a little bigger than crochet thread though - the size is a lot more satisfying!

In crocheting, adjusting the thread/yarn size (and of course adjusting your hook size to match) is one way to upsize/downsize a project.

well done! yarn somehow magnetically attracts dog hair, i keep a pair of tweezers with me as i crochet to pick out any i notice. (and shhh🤫; but sometimes, i'm just blaming the dog for hair 😊)

Oo tweezers are a great idea! There was definitely fur a-plenty in this project!

Spin yarn out of dog hair and crochet with that, problem solved. Yes, I have a galaxy brain, thank you for noticing.

I have that rug too. I love it! Hubby thinks it is too big. Mine is from the pioneer woman at Walmart. I didn’t realize you made this rug at first! Amazing. I have never seen needle lace before.

👍

Just like knitting and crochet, blocking helps to correct many a crafting sin! I've honestly never worked needle lace with separate lengths of thread, I just work directly from the spool. Why is that a recommendation?

So, I'm curious how this has held up after *looks at date of posting* a year(ish)?

I actually ended up putting it in storage after only a couple months because I realized there's no good way to clean it! With a very sheddy doggy around, it just wasn't practical... but I still loved making it!

Giant Armenian needle lace rug...hmmm

👋👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👌👌😍😍😍🤗
