I would also consider lack of language skills to adequately describe the working of lace and not always a lack of understanding the process. Karen in Malta
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Regina Haring Sent: 05 June 2010 14:59 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [lace] Article A wonderful article with lovely pictures, but once again, the old error raises its ugly head: "A pattern is placed on a 'pillow' of straw or, these days, polystyrene, and pins stuck into the pattern. Then the thread is wound around selected pins and the bobbins interlaced and twisted." It just seems to me that it shouldn't be *that* difficult to get the facts across. I would hope and expect that anyone who has seen lacemaking demonstrated would have a correct understanding of the process. Can you think of anything more tedious and unsatisfying than trying to place pins and then wind thread around them? Uggh!
