I've also made more thousands of knots than I can count while tatting. If you want a handmade knotted lace with even less equipment needed, then Armenian needlelace is a step further. The picture at [1] is one of mine

- RBerenguel 12y agoThanks for mentioning Armenian needlelace, it looks very interesting (and incredibly fine, congratulations on your piece, too, it is stunning. May I ask how long it took?) I'll look into learning its technique. I find it odd that (AFAIR) it is not mentioned on the Encyclopaedia of Needlework, by the way

The piece on wikipedia is a direct copy of a piece of lace that a friend bought for me from a street vendor in Yerevan. I made it over 10 years ago, so my memory is a little vague at this point, but it was probably less than 10 hours work.
