I'm hoping that someone out there can direct me to the proper group or
site. A dear friend in Scotland is trying to find out the history of
broomstick lace aka jiffy lace or peacock's eye lace for an article
she is writing for a class. I know it is done with a crochet hook and
a very thick dowel or knitting needle, but can't seem to really find
out anytlhing more. Books in my personal library has no mention. I
do have some patterns for it, but nothing else.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Keep yourself in stitches,
FSU Stitcher

Here's a tutorial, plus a couple of patterns.

It's quick and interesting.

Go to Google and search for: Broomstick Lace Crochet
Also type in Broomstick Lace Crochet History
You will find oodles of sites that show you how, give examples. Not
sure about history. Didn't dig under the obvious except saw a link to
Crochet Guild of America which states: the lack of evidence means that
the history is mostly conjecture instead of fact. ...
