Needle Lace / Nadelspitze – “Dritter Spitzenstich”
It seems that some of you enjoy my small needle lace journey at least as much as I do 
– it’s really nice to work at a ‘fun project’ from time to time or ‘just’ to learn something new 
…therefore I would like to introduce you to another needle lace filling stitch: “Dritter Spitzenstich” (“Encyklopaedie der Weiblichen Handarbeiten von Thérèse de Dillmont”
If you already thought about trying some needle lace, I would highly recommend it, especially with this rather easy filling stitches – it’s like sewing, you just have to ‘play’ with the tension and the space while you are creating your own fabric and besides some fun you can also improve your sewing skills (like your buttonhole-stitch)
Btw. you don’t need a special thread or needle to learn some basic needle lace – for example, this stitches I introduce you to here are my very first filling stitches – ….just take some thread you maybe would like to get rid of and one of your bigger embroidery needles without point and a compact pillow, maybe from your couch, to get a surface you can easily work on… and have some fun
…two pics of my progress with this filling stitch:
