Mathias’s pumpkin hat will fit him next year, too, but for now, doubling over the wool on one’s head in Alaska is not a bad thing.
Meantime, some really cool art: it’s not knitting, it’s not crocheting, it’s not what I think of as tatting, it’s not weaving, it’s not macrame… I would love to see her hands in action. Bobbin lace?
Her website says pillow lace. I’d never heard the term before. But apparently it helped support American Revolutionary War widows.

Those images are cool! Thanks for sharing.
My understanding of pillow lace is that it is done with a special pillow (possibly sawdust filled?), pins, and bobbins. I have an old needle work/embroidery book that shows how to do it.
