Hi Sue and everyone I think it's because they are 'tool users'! Whenever I would take my spinning wheel for a public demo, who gathers round but the menfolk, young and old. They don't really want to use it as much as they want to see how it works :) It could be the same with bobbin lace - they are wondering how it works. After they know how it works, they might or might not want to keep lacing. Mostly boys, but some girls, as a group they'll go on to wonder how other things work, like cars <g> (just my two bits) -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
