Hello, all - I am fascinated to hear about Elena's YouTube project and can't wait to see where it goes! I just thought I might share with all of you about Flosstube. Â Flosstube is simply videos created and then posted on YouTube by stitchers, almost all cross stitchers. Â I think there are also names like "BookTube" and "GardenTube" - i.e. ways that creators can name and tag their videos such that others with similar interests can find them (as well as getting YouTubes algorithms to make good suggestions as well.) I make Flosstube videos and have from time to time shared about my bobbin lace love as well as my stitching projects. Â I will say that I am more the anomaly than the rule in Flosstube world, in that i don't just do cross stitch but rather other types (blackwork, canvas work, etc.) as well. Â Any time that I do include bobbin lace in my videos, there are inevitably people who comment about it, love learning about it, make connections to relatives or friends that they remember making lace. Â While I have not talked about bobbin lace during these last few months, there are some older videos where I do and even once or twice where I demonstrate it. Â I don't have a good camera set-up for that, but one of these days, I'll do something about that. Â (Thanks, Alex, for sharing what you use for teaching classes!) If you are interested, here is my YouTube channel: Â https://www.youtube.com/user/SixthGradeFieldTrip (yes, I know that link includes the words "SixthGradeFieldTrip" - long story.) The link should get you to my channel. Â As you will see in the thumbnails, I do a number of cross stitch designs based on lace. Â I design and sell my patterns under the name WorksByABC (you can find me on Etsy under that name). Â That should have been my channel name - most Flosstubers use names that include "stitching" or something - but, again, long story why I'm just Arlene Cohen on YouTube. Here's a video where I am making lace: Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHtTUNSUu4I&t=1333s Again, I love when I can share my love of bobbin lace to many in my Flosstube world who may be hearing/seeing it for the first time!
