    You mean as in hairpin lace? Or as in patterns for hair pins? Here are some hair pin designs:

    As for hairpin lace, that looks cool, but I don't know squat about it. :) t

      Thank you for the links.

      I did mean hairpin lace. I have no Idea how much the stuff stretches or how long to make each strip of lace and though I have some idea how to join strips I'd like to see some examples so I know my options.

          hairpin lace is the neatest looking stuff! the yarn store where my crochet group meets (www.goknit.com/) has classes once every other month, but i don't have the $$ to get started. the class is $35 & then you have to get the equipment. the girl who is in charge of our group got a pattern book from 1940-something for her birthday. her sister bought it online. it's got a whole dress pictured on the front made from the hairpin lace technique. bee-yoo-tee-ful!

            The pattern from "stichdiva" that I link you to below is great & versatile and the instructions are there, you just have to follow the links to them once you get into the page. :) t

                I've tried hairpin lace, and it's just not coming out right. I think I need to have someone show me how to do it, pictures don't work for me. It's frustrating, too, because I do all kinds of needlework and I feel so clumsy!
