I have heard this mentioned before too that many lacemakers are in these fields. I, myself, have a Mathmatics degree and worked as a software engineer for 20+ years. However, I really don’t think my math skills have anything to do with my ability to make lace. I sorely lack in artistic skills (the other side of the brain) and greatly admire the lacemakers who are also designers. Yes, I can implement their designs (Binche is my favorite) with adequate instruction. I think if you replace “engineer” and “mathematician” with other professions you will also find many lacemakers that fit those categories as well. People also say math folks are good with music.... not me! Anita Hansen Cedar Rapids, Iowa
