I seem to have created the impression that I think it's odd for men to make lace - I don't. I know at least three male lacemakers personally, and they all make superior lace to me. It was the expression 'man made lace' that tickled me, putting a gender on the maker (so there should obviously also be 'woman made lace' as well ), and conjured up a humorous picture - but then I have a very strange sense of humour. It's an odd expression to use - 'man made fibres' yes, but surely 'hand made lace' or 'machine made lace'.
