I don't do much lace, lately, but I've heard that particular,
disparaging comment for decades, and in reference to a variety of forms
of needlework (quilting, monochrome embroidery, spinning, knitting). My
mother was a great one for saying it (more in honest bewilderment than
anything), but then, it's through her family that I inherited the
ability to sit and concentrate on stuff, as well as the *need* to do it.
Her father was a weaver in his spare time, and came from a family of
weavers. It just skipped her part of the family gene pool. Skipped
most (but not all) of my cousins, as well. I really do think it's
either one of those things a person *gets*, or they just *don't get.*
Which is what makes lists like this so wonderful, because it reminds me
I'm not a lone, lost soul up here in NW Montana...there are others like
me in just about every continent on the planet! ;-D
