You teach the same ones that I, with no grandchildren, alas, or those whose 
grandchildren don't want to learn, or are too far away to learn often enough, 
teach.  At my first, and I may say, successful demonstration last November, the 
niece of a friend came by.  That girl was entranced, and moving on from the 
little CT rope to the bandage, which I hastily set up from other detritus I had 
on hand.  I did not, unfortunately, carry through on it, as life intervened, 
but they are out there.  Your own family would be fantastic, but someone else's 
granddaughter would be fine, too.  This is not a moneymaker, but if the first 
lessons are made to be easily accessible, where the lesson actually taught is 
that lacemaking is fun, she can go elsewhere after that.  Or he.  Demonstrate 
near where there are children.  If they are interested and you are available, 
they will come.  While the charm, soul satisfying gratification of teaching 
what one loves to those whom one loves happens and mus!
 t be almost miraculous, it doesn't happen all the time, and brightening the 
corner where you are is the order of the day.
