made on a circular machine ising coarse cotton thread.

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I'm a bit nervous about showing my ignorance
here! I've just discovered www.Etsy.com. In case you don't know it,
it's for individuals to sell hand-crafted things and it's got some
lovely items for sale. Anyway I came across this:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6122571 which is
described as crochet lace but it looks very like bobbin lace to me.
Can anyone tell me if it really is crochet lace and how to tell the
difference?
(I started learning bobbin lace in January and am really enjoying it.
Now working on a torchon garter for my cousin's wedding.)
