What is lace? Lace is just air Surrounded by thread Without us lacemakers The skill would be dead.
Lace can be bobbins Flung about with great speed Weaving patterns of beauty Like magic, indeed. Or needle and cotton Drawn with such care Making dainty delights For lace lovers to wear But lace can be shuttles Making knots by the score And carried in pockets For when time is a bore. There's crochet and knitting And hairpins and looms All needing equipment To fill up our rooms. But whatever the method The skill's quite unique We're proud to be makers And we're never meek!
