January project - learn enough about bobbin lace making that I can bring a demo into my early modern class and not look like an idiot. I'm slowly working my way through Jo Edkins' tutorials, and I'm pretty pleased with the results! Here's my first try at the torchon ground tutorial.

As promised, the 3d printed table loom. It's quite small, as our printer bed is only 18x18 cm, but it works! The action's a bit stiff and it'll only hold about a meter and a half of warp, but it will be fantastic as a demo tool for my intro fashion history class.

My book! Short-listed for the 2024 CHA prize for best scholarly book in Canadian History.
