Thanks, Anna!! I appreciate another voice who understands what I have
said!! Generalities just don't apply to those who are skilled at making
lace!

I've just logged on and yes I was totally affronted with that
statement too. Let me put it in perspective I hold a PhD in Physics
and I have taught physics for the last 20+ year to adults at
university and children in high school. Good lacemakers are people who
are naturally good at lacemaking REGARDLESS of other skills. One of
the best lacemakers I know (her work is in the Powerhouse museum) is
not mathematically great BUT she is trained in textiles and had spent
her working life as a costume designer. I'm a good lacemaker BUT not
the best.
As an educator I hate cover all statements about ability in one area
and success in another.
