It's a bit daunting, isn't it - even having passed City & Guilds Part 2, I could do clauses 1, 3a,b,d and e (could do c but it wasn't something I enjoyed doing when we learnt how) and 4a (I hate knitting, and of the Irish techniques, only learnt the rosettes when Mom taught me to crochet - my netting didn't really get further than the initial "hammock", and a better square to show the technique - the piece of darned net we did was on a commercially produced square net). But, as for clause 2, we were never taught how to mend lace - and if you think about it, today's society tends to shy away from mending anything - I wonder if, with the trend towards recycling, mending skills (for all sorts of things, not just lace) are something that should be revived? -- Jane Partridge -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
