I am one of those computer programmers and math types. I love making Pag needlelace because of the logic and geometric properties of it. In this part of my career, I no longer program but the lace fills that spot. I have had the same experience with demonstrating, the little boys pick it up quickly. ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: Arachne reply <[email protected]> Cc: Lyn Bailey <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 7, 2013 1:51 AM Subject: [lace] Teaching children
Hi Lyn Re: Subject: [lace] Ancillary to Teaching Lace to Children Teaching lace to children is part of the survival of lacemaking. I have always thought that lacemaking, especially geometric Torchon, has the ability to help the mind work mathematically...... I am sure you are right. The best lacemakers are computer programmers, maths graduates and architects and anything that develops judgement of space and line is bound to help. Happy lacemaking Alex - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
