Oh Alex , I so agree with you. Sometimes people get so worked up in
their lace and following all the 'right' rules they forget to enjoy their
lace.
Recently I taught a weekend and for some I followed a teacher who is
rigid
about 'rules', but I have a different attitude and ended up by devising
my own
set of rules.
Alex's Rules of Lacemaking (
1 You MUST enjoy yourself when making lace.
2 Your lace must look beautiful.
3 Your lace must be suitable for its purpose. (It's disappointing if lace
cannot survive normal use. Lace to be placed under glass does not need
to be
made as strongly as that which will be washed and worn.)
4 You may break any other rule providing you know the standard rule and
are
confident that you will not break Rules 3 by doing so - and don't do it
when
teacher's watching.)
