No, I don't think it's a minor distinction. I remember myself as a
young teenager, thrilled to read a description of lacemaking in the
Children's Enclyclopedia as being thread twisted around pins. I made
a beautiful design, did the whole thing in pins, then wrapped thread
around the pins, and -- frustration. I think the only solution to
this problem is to keep demonstrating in attractive public places,
and explaining what we do. -- Aurelia
Personally, I never had a problem with this "definition". Yes, we
normall cross/twist the threads and then put in the pin, but the result
is the threads are crossed/twisted around and about the pins. Seems to
me like a minor distinction, especially compared to calling it tatting
or claiming it's done with a crochet hook, etc.
