Tedious is not something I can comment on. I am a spinner, knitter, cross stitcher, Historical clothing sewer so yeah I do lots of things some people consider tedious. For me it is just relaxing and a new learning experience continuing a lifelong theme of textiles.Love it! Is it tedious to do lace? My son makes looms to create projects using yarn. I have no clue how he does it!
Do a search for bobbin lace on youtube. There are many videos of people making it. In fact that is how I am learning to do it.
