OIDFA Council Members were given a 'Finger Lace' bookmark. It's like a
very fine macrame and very attractive. There are instructions for
making this fine macrame in Therese de Dilmont's Encyclopedia of
Needlework.

"Thee town's lacemakers will hold a special exhibition for the group
displaying Cretan lace, bibila and dessies (finger lace)."
I remembered that in "Tina The Little Lacemaker", published last year by
the Rocky Mountain lace Guild, there is a picture on page 225 of a
finger lace doily from the collection of Vasna Zago: this was "knitted
on the fingers" (purchased from the maker in France).
Is the Cretan lace the same as this?
