Hooked on lace – Part 1.

It was in summer 2016, when we visited to old vicarage, called Kulttuuripappila Sylvi (1804), in Pieksämäki. The distance between Helsinki and Pieksämäki is 306km / 190mi. Why we drove to Pieksämäki? Well, there was very interesting, maybe unique exhibition of laces.

Lady Silja Keränen inherited a big amount crocheting yarns from her mother in 2008. After thinking for a while what to do with them, she decided to crochet. Wise decision! Models Silja searched from Internet and she crocheted the majority of them from photos. Until now, she has crocheted more than 450 crochets and in the exhibition, there were about 400 crochets. Think about it.

Enjoy these lace doilies!

En español:

Enganchado en encaje – Parte 1.

Fue en el verano de 2016, cuando visitábamos a la antigua vicaría, llamado Kulttuuri Pappila Sylvi (de 1804), en Pieksämäki. La distancia entre Helsinki y Pieksämäki es 306 kilometros / 190 millas. ¿Por qué nos manejábamos a Pieksämäki? Bueno, allí era una exposición muy interesante, tal vez una exposición única de encajes.

Señora Silja Keränen heredó una gran cantidad de hilos de encajos de su madre en 2008. Después de pensar un ratito qué hacer con ellos, decidió hacer encajes. ¡Decisión sabia! Modelos Silja buscó desde Internet y la mayoría de las encajes ella hizó a partir de fotos. Hasta ahora, ella ha hecho más de 450 encajes y en la exposición, había alrededor de 400 encajes. ¡Piénsalo!

¡Disfruta de estos manteles de encaje!

En francais:

Accroché sur la dentelle – Partie 1.

Il était en été 2016, quand nous avons visité à l’ancien presbytère, appelé Kulttuuripappila Sylvi (1804), en Pieksämäki. La distance entre Helsinki et Pieksämäki est 306 km / 190mi. Pourquoi nous sommes allés à Pieksamaki? Eh bien, il avait une très intéressant exposition, peut-être la unique exposition presentant de dentelles.

Madame Silja Keränen a hérité d’une grande quantité des fils de crochet de sa mère en 2008. Après avoir réfléchi pendant un certain temps ce qu’elle faut faire avec ils elle décidait de faire du crochet. Sage décision! Modèles, Silja recherchait à partir d’Internet et la majorité, elle crochait d’entre elles à partir de photos. Jusqu’à présent, elle a croché plus de 450 crochets et dans l’exposition, il y avait environ 400 crochets. Penses-y.

Profitez de ces napperons de dentelle!

Em português:

Enganchado na renda – Parte 1.

Foi no verão de 2016, quando visitou a velha paróquia chamado Kulttuuripappila Sylvi (1804), em Pieksämäki. A distância entre Helsínquia e Pieksämäki é 306 km / 190 mi. Por que nós dirigimos para Pieksamaki? Bem, la foi uma exposição muito interessante , talvez la única presentando rendas.

La Sra Silja Keränen herdou um monte enorme de sua mãe fios de crochê em 2008. Depois de pensar por um tempo o que fazer com elas, ela decidiu fazer rendas. Decisão sábia! Modelos Silja buscou a partir de Internet e ela fez a maioria deles a partir de fotos. Até agora, ela fazia mais de 450 rendas e na exposição, havia cerca de 400 rendas. Pense nisso.

Aproveite estes doilies de renda!

The lace is so intricate and with so much detail the mats must have taken a great deal of time to produce. My mother and grandmother were often busy with their crochet hooks and I still have some of their delicate mats on dressing tables, etc. I’m sure the exhibition was worth the effort of driving so far and the building with its attractive porch is lovely, too. So typically Finnish. Thank you for a great post Matti!.

Rather beautiful these lace works! Extremly filigree and such a variety of patterns! Some of them remind of snowflakes, other look a bit like a mandala and completely different appear those lace doilies that are composed of small and repeating basic patterns.
On the one hand doing such work must be relaxing and satisfying (seeing the result!), but on the other hand it is physically demanding, too. Your eyes will become tired, your work posture is exhausting, your neck might suffer from lookig down for a rather long time in a very concentrated way. I really wonder, how long (non-stop) someone is able to work on it.

Thanks for showing, Matti! Excellent photos, you can recognize every single detail!

Have a nice evening!

As the Lord has produced no two snowflakes that are alike, so too has this incredible thread artist created “thread-flakes” that are totally breathtaking in their beauty and complexity! I do crochet and can completely appreciate the time and ability that brought these into being. I see them as a mountain of ideas that will translate into quilting motifs/designs in the future. Thank you so much for the exquisite compilation!!!!! And thank you for drawing my (neglected) attention to your wonderful bloggy home. Good to see your sweet wife in the background, too!!!! Sending greetings and hugs to your both……………………

That is so beautiful. I have a table cloth my mother crocheted many years ago. It doesn’t fit any table we have but I can’t bear to part with it because I know how much work went into it and it was the work of her hands.

Encajes hechos a mano, una auténtica maravilla y una destreza que cuesta aprender.
En mi región, (Galicia) hay mucha tradición de encaje. Frecuentemente disfruté de verlos hacer, (aquí se llama palillar) y es una auténtica pasada ver trabajar esas piezas.
Mirando el resultado nunca imaginas lo costoso de la elaboración.

        En Canarias se usa bastante el Vd., pero para un blog, que no es lenguaje formar y sobre todo conmigo, prefiero el Tú, por ser más cercano y para mi, más natural, aunque lo dejo a tu elección.

  - Seeing it together as an exhibition I expect is very rare. I think of the crochet work done by women in South East Asia – living in poverty, their work totally undervalued. They would never have the honour of seeing everything they have created in one place.
    
    Happy weekend to you!

    - Hello Janis.
      
      I am sure that You are right. It is a pity that their works are not presented in blogs or in Internet generally. When I started this blog and I presented often my wife’s bead works and quilts, many visitor came from Central and South America. Apparently, they searched ideas from my blog. This lasted many years and slowly the amount of those visitors has decreased. Thank You.
