Hairpin crochet is crochet since it can be done with fine thread say
forming a handkerchief edge or it can be done in thick yarn to form a
sweater or cardigan. It is the same technique and out in OZ it has
always been classed as a separate crochet technique.

At the fair where I work, the Washington State Fair, if the piece is done
with yarn it goes in the Crochet Class and if it is done with finer thread

Knitting -it goes in the Knitting Class, but if it is done with fine 'lace
yarn' or thread it goes in the Knit/Lace class.
Hope this helps, if you need further info (like the classes used at the Wash.
State Fair) just let me know.

In the board scheme of things any textile constructed with decorative holes
is
lace, but if there are specific sub-categories then I would say that
hairpin
crochet should be in the crochet class - and similarly a Shetland lace
shawl
would be in the knitting class etc.
If the work is good and it’s compared to things like crochet afghan
blankets
etc then it’s probably to the advantage of the hairpin piece.

She specifically asked me if Crocheted Hair Pin Lace
should be in the Lace or Crochet Category. I'm at a loss since I would
consider it crocheted, but there are other "lacy" crochet designs that I
have seen. Plus all the Knitted Lace. I am searching for an opinion
here.
