Lace and Lacy Crochet

 In my last post I showed examples of crochet that somewhat mimic lace or that have a lacy affect. Here are a few more examples of crochet and tatted lace from my collection. 

This candy cane comes with its own crochet jacket. It was made by my friend, Sally Criswell. She sells her beautiful crochet in her Etsy shop, Sally's Xstitch.

Sometimes a stitcher would use rick rack and add crochet to the tape. The stitcher who made this used red rick rack and applied white cotton thread to dress it up.  The lace measures 1" wide. It is a little more than 1 yard long. (from my personal collection)

Hand tatted lace. The stitcher used fine cotton thread, number 80 wt was most commonly used, to make these colorful bits of tatting. Each piece is approximately 4 inches long....long enough to make a collar for a doll's dress or add to a crazy quilt. 

There's a lot more in my collection to share. 

Enjoy!
