I remember watching a lady in one of the finest lace shops in Bruges who
amazed customers at the speed in which she worked.
But under closer scrutiny what she was doing with the bobbins most of the
time was rolling, rattling and tapping with such a rhyme - it would take
another lacemaker to spot this - the public were completely fooled.

The lady I watched on a street corner in Belgium was actually making
reverse lace!
She was making a big show of it and tossing her bobbins around but when I
looked closely she was doing:
cross, twist, cross, twist, untwist......
Perhaps she learned BL using a few inches of string!
