Clay,
I fall into the "process" group as well. I can't think when I've
worn my lace, and I can count on one hand the pieces I've made as
gifts. Like Robin, I love the process and the challenge. But
beyond that, I am also rather obsessive, and I can't bear *not* to
finish something - that feels like defeat to me! I have two pieces
on display in my house, but most of my lace is in a notebook.
Several years ago! I started a difficult piece and was never happy
with the way it was going. I finally decided it needed to be worked
with a larger thread. I cut the bobbins off, and put the fragment
away (in the notebook). I am now eyeing the pattern again, because
I *will not* be defeated by it!
While you and I have very similar attitudes to tackling a pricking,
I'm afraid my walls are covered with framed pieces of my lace. I've
worn a bow tie and jabot a couple of times.
