With regard to the original question, I'm also addicted to bobbin lace. I've tried all others I know of except hairpin lace, but the only other type I really enjoy is hardanger and other lace-like embroidery--go figure! I'd like to do more needle lace but I'm hopelessly bad at it, whereas I seem to pick up different types of bobbin lace instinctively. It's much more rewarding to work on something that I feel like I'm good at and where I like both the doing of it and the results so much more. I did just buy some tatting patterns for tatted jewelry. I taught myself to tat before I was told that that was impossible, and I enjoy it okay, but it's not mesmerizing like bobbin lace. And there's always the comments we get "I'd never have the patience for that"--what I don't have the patience for is to clean my house! Nancy in Connecticut, where I'm cleaning the basement under threat of mold if I don't.
