I'm bemused as to why anyone would be concerned with making lace as fast as
possible, unless you have a deadline for a gift or an event such as a
wedding or a display/competition. It certainly can't be with an aim to sell
the lace because you could never make it fast enough to make a living.
I take pleasure in the process of making lace, reverse lacing where
necessary to correct mistakes and learn how to correct what I did wrong. I
may or may not be pleased with the finished item, but I'm not particularly
interested in that. It's the process and mastering techniques (or not) that
I find fascinating - there are so many that I don't think anyone could
master them all. David, with al of his experience, has provided a good
example here in deciding what to do about the poppies in the piece he's
currently working - gimps? twists? tallies?
