>"toveressekant" this is the flemish word for witchcraft, refering to the very intricate and difficult designs (for which you need "magic" fingers, haven't we all ???).>> Should this not be called magician's lace instead of witches lace? I would translate "toveresse" as a fairy godmother like the one Cinderella had and not a witch which has a nasty connotation??? What is a witch called in Dutch? We would call her a "heks" in Afrikaans.
