Sharp Point in Bobbin Lace + Video

Working through the books by the Idrija Lace School, I made little videos for our group to explain the different techniques.  Many look like they will provide valuable techniques for Muaiga lace making once the practices make them become second nature. 



Sharp points appear in many laces, not always with the neatest ways of making them.  I particularly liked this way of making them because the point, a weak area, became quite solid without being lumpy.  This technique can be adapted to work with more pairs and at different angles (with variations for asymmetrical angles).  Patterns with colour trails may need a bit more experience and some adaptations.
