Also with current fashion having lots of lace about and the winter special
items also was quite lacy, a quick knitted pretty lace scarf might be just
the thing to show them and get them going. As you say bobbin lace could
come after, just make sure its in the conversations, on display ect.

Robin, you are exactly right! I teach sock classes at my LYS, and wear my
knitted lace socks to inspire people. Now the word is out that I make
bobbin lace, and the shop owner has asked me to demo. So there is a
connection!

Who says lace always has to mean bobbin lace? Getting the lace mentality
"out there" is what's important, not which type of lace you get them started
with. Knitting has become so popular that lace knitting is a good
transition to other laces. While most (by no means all) "lace" groups seem
to be mostly BL makers, most of the groups seem to have members who do other
types of lace (instead of, or in addition to, BL), especially tatting and
knitting/crochet. Get those other lacemakers into a group and *then* work
on getting them interested in your favorite lace (I address this to all
lacemakers, whatever their favorite lace is).
