Good Liz! That bothered me too. Bobbin lace IS weaving in which the warp is
free at one end and threads can change function from warp to weft or
reverse. But it is topologically exactly weaving -- no knots. And even the
most complicated stitches boil down to the over/under relationship of the
threads in weaving.

I'm submitting a proposal for a contribution explaining this in detail, but
it would definitely be odd being in the "non-woven" volume!
