AHA! Maybe this is why museum curator-types say that bobbin and needle are the only true laces. Things like cutwork, pulled/drawn thread, hardangar, etc. are fabric in which holes have been created. In other words, the holes are ornament, not a fundamental part of the textile creation. I never understood how these people refused to consider them laces, but if they follow this definition, it makes some sense. I still disagree, but at least I can understand. And I still don't see how tatting, lace knitting, and lace weaving are ruled out. Robin Robin P.
