Hi All,
I am a tad surprised at the 'carping' that has ensued from the Lark Rise
lace-making. I also thought I noticed several anomalies, but am content to
take the view that the lace-making problems in the Industrial Revolution
were well-explained, and that it was a delight to see lace-making actually a
main part of the story, rather than just glossed over. We as lacemakers
can probably recognise the some of the lace wasn't what it was cracked up to
be but, if it gave just one person an interest, and persuaded him/her to
take up our lace classes, we should perhaps be pleased, rather than gripe
about what seemed wrong with the lacemaking.
