While reading the course descriptions in the IOLI Convention booklet, I looked up Vologda Lace.
Landing on web site below, bobbin lace is "tatting with bobbins"! I think they tried to cover all country's cultures here. It's an interesting article so have a look. http://russia.rin.ru/guides_e/4209.html Yours with frozen fingers just from putting out bird food this morning.

Eventually I bought a spoon collector's cabinet at Bombay. See http://tinyurl.com/4byj7qs The slots for the spoons are too wide for my East Midlands bobbins, but I've wound them in pairs, using a very short length of thread. Then I hang them by having the upside down U made by the thread hang over the divider between two slots. (I hope this is understandable. It's easier to do than to write!) I hung the cabinet on the wall and I can open the door and remove any bobbins that I want to use.
