mem_somerville<p>Someone challenged me to make the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Torchon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Torchon</span></a> page better in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a>, so I started to work on it today. </p><p>Still needs work, but it's no longer in the mid <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/19thCentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>19thCentury</span></a> anymore.

mem_somerville<p>Oh, wow. Someone has uploaded the actual <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BobbinLace</span></a> samples of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Torchon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Torchon</span></a> lace company. </p><p>Fascinating.</p><p>Digital archives are like tide pools.

mem_somerville<p>The prompt for an upcoming <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BobbinLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BobbinLace</span></a> competition in our local group is "By the sea". I've been thinking on some sea-related things, and found this pattern. It won't be my entry, but it was fun, like working a sketch, but in thread....</p><p>The sun bead was a fail.
