Thank you so much to a very good friend (sorry, I can't seem to tag you, Kirsten!) for finding this little treasure at a brocante for me! I know very little about Continental lace pillows, so if anyone can tell me anything, I'd love to hear! In the meantime, my sister is staying with me and I am keeping her out of trouble by getting her to untangle the bobbins! 😏 I'll show you how she gets on tomorrow.....😉

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who pointed out that the old English term "whole stitch" is no longer used! I learnt to make lace 40 years ago and have obviously been hidden away making lace on my own while the world moved on without me! I will post the revised video! Thank you again to everyone who clarified the change in terminology...I had no idea! 😏😊
