Married 32 years, husband always just brings me my purse lol. I find it hilarious that this big brave guy who loves adventure will not chance the inside of it.
I'm just scared of finding things I don't understand!
I'm so old that every time I discover a new thing, I have to forget an older thing.
Last time I went into a purse I found what I can only describe as a miniature torture tool wrapped in some kind of plastic. I later learned it was eyelash curlers that slipped inside a dog-poo bag.
Learning that made me forget the capital of Estonia.
Lol, yeah I get it. But my wife is so ridiculously self-sufficient that I try to help when I can because it’s absurdly rare for her to ask for help with basically anything.
Right!? We have several with rough edges, a few cheap ones, one with serrated edge (my nemesis) , several overly large ones and the one beautiful smooth rounded edged spoon.
I have one made of wood. I took it from one of the coffee shops years ago, nothing fancy, cheap, single use teaspoon. But it's super quiet when stirring coffee or tea.
I have a Titanium Spork that I love to use at work. Every time I don't do the dishes and my wife does, she yeets the spork into the silverware drawer and then it vanishes for a month.
Dude, since I was a kid I hated the sound of stirring my coffee in the mornings. I would hold it up, cup it in my hands to keep it a little muted. At 30 years old, I found out they make long silicone spoons for mixed drinks. Changed my life. I'm no longer waking the house up making coffee in my metal tumbler.
In the UK at least It's just anything you eat or even serve food with - knifes, forks, spoons etc.
I've seen North American definitions that are narrowed to just "cutting utensils", which honestly makes sense since the word comes from Cutellerie, meaning knife-making in French - and even further back to cultellus which was a knife in Latin.
But they've been including all eating utensils under the cutlery umbrella for a long-ass time here, when I went to the boring-at-the-time cutlery museum (I lived in Sheffield so of course we had that) I think it said they were calling people who made knives, forks and spoons "cutlers" all the way back in the 1300's or so.
I can knit, but all the lace-making techniques just look like an occult summoning ritual to me. Grannies just do some insane secret finger jutsu and intricate lace slowly appears.
The little wooden things are called bobbins, and they have thread wound around them. As she moves the bobbins back-and-forth, criss-crossing them in different patterns, she is creating lace.
Ah yes. Now I understand how she's flobbin the knob on the bobbin right as she gives it a little bumpsie with her fingies so she can get the ol reach around going there. I thought it was just totally random rod dobbin but now I see the pattern
A bobbin isn't specific to those things in the video, it's a spool for thread, so I imagine the song stems from the textile industry in general.
Fun fact, in Manchester, England, which was epicentre of the industrial revolution and was famous for its cotton based industry, empty bobbins were so numerous that the word became slang for 'worthless', 'useless', or just bad in general.
Shes making lace. This is called bobbin lace making. Each of those wooden sticks have a piece of thread on it. Shes twisting each individual strand into another, pinning it down to keep its pattern in place.
I dabbled in bobbin lacemaking years ago (never got close to being that fast though!). The bobbins are in pairs, and the whole thing is just a series of twisting the pairs and then crossing those threads with another set to lock it in place. Twist, cross, pin to the pillow, repeat in a certain order. Once you get the pattern down you get into a rhythm and it can be very relaxing. It's crazy how complicated some of the designs can get! I enjoyed just doing simple straight lace.
Do a search for lacemaking guilds in your area! There's multiple ones throughout the US and Europe. Heritage festivals and lost art craft fairs other great ways to connect with people who want to preserve old-time skills. There's one near me where you can see chair caning, basket weaving, soap and candle making, and so much more. I used to volunteer at the local farm museum, giving tours, playing the pump organ, and making lace. It's a fun way to share pastimes that people don't think about anymore. And it's never too late to start a hobby!
I go to all sorts of fiber festivals in my area, some with historical guilds. They never had lace making. I went to a niche movie theater and literally stumbled into a folk music festival. They had an arts and craft section. Had about 10 ladies making lace. I sat with one for an hour asking questions and just being mesmerized by her work.
How do you know which bobbins to use? Are they colourcoded or a slightly different pattern or do you count them? Or is it just from left to right/right to left?
Saw a lace set-up at the Begijnhof in Diest (Belgium), but never saw a lacemaker in action. I did get asked if I wanted to become a begijn (unmarried woman who devoted her life to religion, but not a nun) and make lace. I was 17, in a relationship and not religious, so that was a no.
I used to do this as a kid ~15 years ago so my memory is patchy but I'm pretty sure the bobbins are all a bit different. They probably come in pairs going off the comment you replied to. Mine had little gems dangling off the end which meant I would be jingling away like crazy when I got going 🪇 It's really fun and not as difficult as it looks once you get your head around it
There's an island in the Venetian lagoon (Burano) famous for lace-making. And at the museum stuff there they talk about how this was done in a less-consensual form in the past. Young women who were considered too wild or who did things like have premarital sex would be sent by their families to be lace-makers for life, just decades of doing what this video shows all day every day. Pretty grim.
Asexual people exist. And there might be more of them that you think. There are people in marriage that are asexual and even have a kid or two. But they only had sex to make a baby, not cause they enjoyed it.
Then there's also people who really enjoy doing repetitive tasks, it can be relaxing. I do like repetitive tasks at times, it can be fun to get really good at something and be able to do it very quickly, but after some time, I do get bored with it personally.
But I have a cousin that's done the same job for 20 years and his job is extremely repetitive, and he's really fast at it, it's probably why they haven't automated his job yet, as automation does come with its own problems of having to repair things when they fail.
I heard that companies are slowly finding out that replacing humans with machines in places like grocery stores and fast food isn't actually saving them any money because of the repairs. Hopefully it stays like that and we stop replacing jobs that people need to survive.
My grandmother used to make lace just like this. I am lucky to own a box of her lace. Im too scared to do anything with it at the moment, but in time I'll use it!
You’re right, I originally just responded “Fucking Bruges” but thought people are gonna wonder what the hell I meant but this is Reddit of course they’ll get what I mean!
I crochet- it's fun and relaxing. If you were to look at me like 50% of the time (basically anytime counting is necessary), you'd swear I hated every second
Hooker here too. Especially towards the end of a long project, I am frantically hooking away, like this lady. Still love it, but I might appear frustrated and disgruntled.
It slows it down, but eventually, inevitably, it all breaks. I played cards with my Dad up until the second last day of his life, when he forgot how to play his favorite card game that he had played for over 80 years.
I have to say, for a woman with arthritis this is the most perfect activity for her. My grandmother had severe rheumatoid arthritis and her knitting/crocheting random shit kept the use of her fingers and hands until she died in her 90s. She knew what she was doing. She always told me you have to keep moving. She was told she would lose the ability to walk and defied all odds until the day she died.
My grandmother on my dads side loved doing laces, she even has bobbins on her gravestone... I miss her and her christmas laces so much :( I still have and always will have one of her last table laces, that i use for decor on special occations
We also do that in Portugal. It's called "renda de bilros" (bilros lace). It's only done at specifc parts of the country and it's a generational art that I hope doesn't get lost in time. It's really mesmerized to see in the marking. You understant how hard and intricate and beautiful it is, once you see the results. This turns out in super fine, super delicate lace, with the most beautiful an intricate patterns
I tried lacemaking once and it's a cool hobby, it's creative, requres some motoric skills, involves quite some logical thinking and the results are great, especially if you invent your own stuff instead of doing the same standard patterns all over again.
But you sit more or less motionless on your butt for hours to end. My back hurt and my shoulders were so tense, it wasn't even funny anymore. It drove me really crazy and made me quit it in the end.
If you are into needlework and interested, give it a try, you can get tons of great equipment for almost nothing as not many people want to do it anymore. And it's quite an active little community, there are some books, websites, people who do modern and artsy stuff and do on. I miss it, maybe I will try it again when I'm old and frail, lol.
A talented lace maker can make a little over an inch an hour. This is important to know when you look at old portraits from hundreds of years ago and the insane amount of lace that is on the clothes. It was a serious status symbol. Showing that you could afford to employ mutliple people just to make lace for your extravagant clothing. And if the fabric was black or purple, you likely could make decisions about who lived and died.
This would be more satisfying if it were the end of the lace and she held it up to show the beautiful finished product. This video just feels like she's on meth.
I took a lacemaking workshop at that museum in Bruge when I was on a study abroad trip! It’s such a cool and interesting tradition. The pieces in the museum are so incredibly stunning and mind-blowingly intricate!
I can do the same thing just give me a pair of old school wired headphones I will put them in my pocket and BOOM lace wire....sort of...just squint your eyes.
I don't know what's happening.
This is exactly how I look when I'm trying to find my favourite spoon in the cutlery drawer.
Feels like me when my wife asks me to get something from her purse.
You need to just bring her the whole purse.
She will be annoyed with it the first few times and then she will adjust. It's been a life changer for me.
Married 32 years, husband always just brings me my purse lol. I find it hilarious that this big brave guy who loves adventure will not chance the inside of it.
My job here involves night security and removing snakes from the property.
I'll happily do both those things before sticking my hand inside that purse.
I'd feel like that part in flash gordon where he has to stick his arm into random holes, some of them containing dangerous creatures.
😂 That is exactly what my husband said.
One mousetrap and they never trust you again….
I'm just scared of finding things I don't understand!

A purse is an extradimentional space only it's owner can access.
Lol, yeah I get it. But my wife is so ridiculously self-sufficient that I try to help when I can because it’s absurdly rare for her to ask for help with basically anything.
Right!? We have several with rough edges, a few cheap ones, one with serrated edge (my nemesis) , several overly large ones and the one beautiful smooth rounded edged spoon.
Where is it?.!?
I have one made of wood. I took it from one of the coffee shops years ago, nothing fancy, cheap, single use teaspoon. But it's super quiet when stirring coffee or tea.
Gosh I hate it when my teaspoons are too loud
It makes such a TINNY sound
But the wooden spoon makes such a nice WOODY sound, doesn’t it, old horse.
GAAWWWWWWWNN
I have a Titanium Spork that I love to use at work. Every time I don't do the dishes and my wife does, she yeets the spork into the silverware drawer and then it vanishes for a month.
"They say he carved it himself, from a bigger spoon"
Dude, since I was a kid I hated the sound of stirring my coffee in the mornings. I would hold it up, cup it in my hands to keep it a little muted. At 30 years old, I found out they make long silicone spoons for mixed drinks. Changed my life. I'm no longer waking the house up making coffee in my metal tumbler.
Oh, silicone? I need to check it out, thanks!
Dude, throw out the rough edged ones.
Why would you keep them?
Me too… and I found a mystery doily in mine. Pretty sure I accidentally crafted it.
I'd get yourself checked out, you might be sleep-lacing.
I thought i was your favorite spoon 😭
You're favourite big spoon. Favourite little spoon is in the drawer.
Being 6'2 and 250lbs yeah, big spoon is accurate 😂
for a good 20 seconds i thought she was a crackhead.
You mean the pancake drawer?
I always thought cutlery referes to kitchen utensils you do the cutting with
In the UK at least It's just anything you eat or even serve food with - knifes, forks, spoons etc.
I've seen North American definitions that are narrowed to just "cutting utensils", which honestly makes sense since the word comes from Cutellerie, meaning knife-making in French - and even further back to cultellus which was a knife in Latin.
But they've been including all eating utensils under the cutlery umbrella for a long-ass time here, when I went to the boring-at-the-time cutlery museum (I lived in Sheffield so of course we had that) I think it said they were calling people who made knives, forks and spoons "cutlers" all the way back in the 1300's or so.
It's fuukin' Bruges
We’ve only just gotten off the fucking train!!!
I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset.
It's like a fuckin' fairytale or somethin!
I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.
Lace-making is the black magic of fiber arts.
I can knit, but all the lace-making techniques just look like an occult summoning ritual to me. Grannies just do some insane secret finger jutsu and intricate lace slowly appears.
The little wooden things are called bobbins, and they have thread wound around them. As she moves the bobbins back-and-forth, criss-crossing them in different patterns, she is creating lace.
She could literally be pretending to shuffle them in any random order and I would be none the wiser.
She is. She's just fucking with the person filming.
/s
No shes doing any% speedrun. pattern doesn't matter.
Let me try…..
This short video has a bit more detail: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jkdfhts9P5Y
Ah yes. Now I understand how she's flobbin the knob on the bobbin right as she gives it a little bumpsie with her fingies so she can get the ol reach around going there. I thought it was just totally random rod dobbin but now I see the pattern
Congrats, You gave me an aneurysm.
I heard Bill Cosby reading this for some reason
That was really helpful actually. So when she’s seemingly randomly slapping them back and forth, she’s actually weaving patterns into the lace. Neato.
I struggle to see how that wasn’t clear from the comments further up
Because from the angle within the video, you can’t really see the threads forming the pattern the way you can via the YouTube link the guy posted.
The YT video does make the process clearer, in part because it's a much simpler pattern with thicker thread.
And contrasting colors
Because they couldn't visualize it from just that sentence.
Upvoter for "neato".
So this is where the song wind the bobbin up comes from?
A bobbin isn't specific to those things in the video, it's a spool for thread, so I imagine the song stems from the textile industry in general.
Fun fact, in Manchester, England, which was epicentre of the industrial revolution and was famous for its cotton based industry, empty bobbins were so numerous that the word became slang for 'worthless', 'useless', or just bad in general.
She’s sorting her crack pipes
Shes making lace. This is called bobbin lace making. Each of those wooden sticks have a piece of thread on it. Shes twisting each individual strand into another, pinning it down to keep its pattern in place.
She’s trying to untangle and extension lead
I dabbled in bobbin lacemaking years ago (never got close to being that fast though!). The bobbins are in pairs, and the whole thing is just a series of twisting the pairs and then crossing those threads with another set to lock it in place. Twist, cross, pin to the pillow, repeat in a certain order. Once you get the pattern down you get into a rhythm and it can be very relaxing. It's crazy how complicated some of the designs can get! I enjoyed just doing simple straight lace.
Where can I go to learn this?
Hands on learning, surrounded by menopausal superheroes, with life advice to spare?
Im 50, and its time.

Mine had little gems dangling off the end which meant I would be jingling away like crazy when I got going 🪇 It's really fun and not as difficult as it looks once you get your head around it
How long ago was this? Also wtf. There's women who stay unmarried so they can make lace?!
There's an island in the Venetian lagoon (Burano) famous for lace-making. And at the museum stuff there they talk about how this was done in a less-consensual form in the past. Young women who were considered too wild or who did things like have premarital sex would be sent by their families to be lace-makers for life, just decades of doing what this video shows all day every day.

You’re braver (or more talented) than I. I would find it difficult to keep track of the pattern, even a much simpler one.
So you could say you are a straight lace person.
My grandmother used to make lace just like this. I am lucky to own a box of her lace. Im too scared to do anything with it at the moment, but in time I'll use it!
You could frame some!
Oh wow! Because of your description I just realized all the vertical bits are pins!!
The movie Fucking Bruges is so good!
I don't think it's called that, but yeah it's fantastic.
Alcove?
was he goin' on to you about the fuckin' alcoves?
You’re right, I originally just responded “Fucking Bruges” but thought people are gonna wonder what the hell I meant but this is Reddit of course they’ll get what I mean!
Isn’t the movie called In Bruges?
You're an inanimate fucking object!
I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate fucking object.
One of my favorites. Just ordered a physical copy from eBay this week.
Adding to the list of movies to watch again. Also kiss kiss bang bang.
It’s like a fucking fairy tale
Colin DeNiro
He's got nipples. Can you milk him?
Lots of alcoves.
Plot Twist: Its all nonsense, somebody gave grandma amphetamines and pulled up the camera.
Oddly satisfying? I'm stressing watching her! Still cool though.
"Autism didn't exist when I was growing up"
Came here for that comment
"If I'd grown up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't."
She doesn't look like she's doing it out of love. This has got to be her job or something.
She could be loving it. She looks focused and could be a personal project.
I never look like I'm enjoying painting minis when I do it, and there's often cursing involved. Doesn't mean I'm not having a good time
Nobody should be in the kitchen with me when I'm baking. It's a war zone. And I love it.
I crochet- it's fun and relaxing. If you were to look at me like 50% of the time (basically anytime counting is necessary), you'd swear I hated every second
Hooker here too. Especially towards the end of a long project, I am frantically hooking away, like this lady. Still love it, but I might appear frustrated and disgruntled.
Wait, what's the definition of hooker in this context?
People who crochet.
It's right there in the description. It's in a museum. So yes, she's doing it out of love for sharing the old ways of making laces.
I thought she was trying to organize those things until they zoomed in.
She is disorganizing them in a specific order.
If it was the US, this would be a video of "Nanna got into her grandson's Adderall."
Example to provide a bit more context.
Thank you!
You see how all these hands are old hands? This is a dying art. It saddens me :(
ah, now I get it!
Probably also a good task to prevent certain mental degradations connected to advancing age.
It slows it down, but eventually, inevitably, it all breaks. I played cards with my Dad up until the second last day of his life, when he forgot how to play his favorite card game that he had played for over 80 years.
MLG grandma
She's trying to beat her PB
She's doing too many high skill level moves for me to tell, I'm just your average watcher of these competitions
This is the High Aldwin consulting the bones in Willow
Still nothing?
Ignore the bird. Follow the river.
No wonder lace was so expensive back through history
I have to say, for a woman with arthritis this is the most perfect activity for her. My grandmother had severe rheumatoid arthritis and her knitting/crocheting random shit kept the use of her fingers and hands until she died in her 90s. She knew what she was doing. She always told me you have to keep moving. She was told she would lose the ability to walk and defied all odds until the day she died.
This seems backed up by studies. Thanks for sharing a knowledge that can help people
Yep. “Motion is lotion”
In FUCKING Bruges?
I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.
My grandmother on my dads side loved doing laces, she even has bobbins on her gravestone... I miss her and her christmas laces so much :( I still have and always will have one of her last table laces, that i use for decor on special occations
"Autism wasn’t around back in my day"
I laughed so hard
This video makes no sense without showing the result
https://imgur.com/a/2fuqyg4
Called Bobby pin lace. Look it up, super cool.
In Bruges you say….
It's interesting, but I wouldn't really consider it satisfying - oddly or otherwise - simply because I can barely tell what's happening.
yo gamgam's a badass
Interesting yeah satisfying hell no
Oddly confusing. To me at least.
I think you should zoom out a bit more. Everything’s far too clear at this zoom level.
tippy taps
I know this is how this works for manual weaving but she really does look like she’s just mixing them around randomly.
This is a lot more peaceful than the last thing I watched In Bruges.
I’m very impressed but this isn’t satisfying to watch.
It is when it’s filmed better. I follow two lace makers on TikTok
Yeah I bet it is. It is quite the skill. I’ll have to check out some other videos.
She's the only person whos shoelace never becomes undone
That museum was amazingly gorgeous. The lacework is beautiful.
Ironically, we went there at the same time they were filming In Bruges. Sadly never saw any of the stars just the set up around the belfry. .
I thought this was a joke at first until I zoomed in and saw she was actually doing something. That’s seriously nuts.
Bobbin lace making will always look like magic to me.
The camera angle is pathetic.
I wonder how you read a pattern for something like this.
Amazing dexterity!
Damn, she's faster creating intricate lace than I can knit a basic garter stitch! Incredible.
That's how I look through my toolbox for the 10mm.
How do you not loose track of that pattern?
When my boss walks past my desk...
This might be cool if I knew what the fuck she's doing or could see a finished... product?
No end product shown. Not satisfying at all.
Effing Bruges
We didn’t have autism back in those days….
As grandma hyperfocuses on incredibly detailed hobby - hold my bobbin.
We also do that in Portugal. It's called "renda de bilros" (bilros lace). It's only done at specifc parts of the country and it's a generational art that I hope doesn't get lost in time. It's really mesmerized to see in the marking. You understant how hard and intricate and beautiful it is, once you see the results. This turns out in super fine, super delicate lace, with the most beautiful an intricate patterns
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Edit: spelling, paragraphs
I mean it looks like she's just pushing chicken bones around accomplishing nothing.
Brugse zot tour: we have a saying in Bruges that to turn the whole town into a mental asylum you only need to close the city gates.
Fuckin beautiful. Wouldn't want to fuckin die there though
Seeing this gave me the strongest flashback I’ve had in years, suddenly remembering that the movie Madeline: Lost in Paris exists.
She's gaming

This is now my favourite video on the planet.
Omg this is beyond my understanding
Making bob pin lacing is all fun and games until your cat attacks it... 6 weeks works down the drain..
In Bruges, you say?
I tried lacemaking once and it's a cool hobby, it's creative, requres some motoric skills, involves quite some logical thinking and the results are great, especially if you invent your own stuff instead of doing the same standard patterns all over again.
But you sit more or less motionless on your butt for hours to end. My back hurt and my shoulders were so tense, it wasn't even funny anymore. It drove me really crazy and made me quit it in the end.
If you are into needlework and interested, give it a try, you can get tons of great equipment for almost nothing as not many people want to do it anymore. And it's quite an active little community, there are some books, websites, people who do modern and artsy stuff and do on. I miss it, maybe I will try it again when I'm old and frail, lol.
This makes me feel a little crazy
Those lace shops were everywhere in Bruges. Can't say I understand the appeal.
I thought she was looking for a pencil for far too long here
this lady puts away my christmas lights
Me going through the junk drawer looking for that one pen I love
A talented lace maker can make a little over an inch an hour. This is important to know when you look at old portraits from hundreds of years ago and the insane amount of lace that is on the clothes. It was a serious status symbol. Showing that you could afford to employ mutliple people just to make lace for your extravagant clothing. And if the fabric was black or purple, you likely could make decisions about who lived and died.
me trying to roll a few joints before the camping trip
Never shows the completed product. Could be complete garbage
Bruges is a shithole
ADHD DIDNT EXIST WHEN WE WERE KIDS!
This would be more satisfying if it were the end of the lace and she held it up to show the beautiful finished product. This video just feels like she's on meth.
Are there really adults out there than think this is sped up?
I know this lady is a pro, but she just looks like she's having a spaz attack the whole time
Looks like she's frantically counting her shmeckles before the milk man arrives
Unless I see the result, I will chalk this up to Nana just fucking around.
I bet her hands do those motions when she's asleep sometimes.
Mom, nana is jiggling her sticks again!
Hurry it up grandma, I don't have all day!
Great movie!
I took a lacemaking workshop at that museum in Bruge when I was on a study abroad trip! It’s such a cool and interesting tradition. The pieces in the museum are so incredibly stunning and mind-blowingly intricate!
I remember my vacation to EU.
While in Belgium I tried to take a picture of the lace map they have of the city in town.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure what time of day to take that photo… it did not make the album because the sun was too bright to see anything :/
Bruges Zot beer from the beer pipes made it though. They have plumbing in the city for beer! If you ever go ask about the peeling boy…
Me looking for answers on why America picked trump
Bet she can shred on the guitar
https://youtube.com/shorts/zDdAHmMRii0?si=Z6cJQeOP_J6vpv4s theres a video of her from 2013!!
This looks like me, trying to sort out my Christmas lights.
I saw this done while I was there. It's amazing to watch and I finally understood why lace is so expensive.
The fact that somebody figured out how to do this, and was able to communicate it effectively enough to teach other people how to do it is astounding.
Until the camera zoomed in, I thought she was suffering from indecision.
I've done a little bit of lace making and this is even more impressive when you know what she's doing. That speed is insane.
I just got linked to a video of a lady arranging q-tips.
I can do the same thing just give me a pair of old school wired headphones I will put them in my pocket and BOOM lace wire....sort of...just squint your eyes.
