Needlework: Leaf

"Lace as a general category can be traced back to its earliest beginnings as knotted nets. Other forms have evolved over time from whitework techniques such as cutwork or drawn work, and from early forms of darn-netting. One of the laces is Romanian Point Lace. Lace making can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. Today we introduce you to Romanian Point Lace. What makes it different is that instead of a premade tape you use a specially crocheted cord which has loops along the sides to connect your cords and do the needle weaving. Most of the time your finished project will be reversible! Only special embellishments such as those for grapes will be different on the back side."
