Heavens no, Natalie, you are right on topic! Crochet *is* lace! It just used different tools than bobbin lace or tatted lace, or knitted lace. Happy Lacemaking, whatever type of lace you doBetty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA

Does anyone know about crochet in the 1950, in France? What material was used? I wondered if they used cotton or linnen. I guess probably cotton? And this is not done now, but I discovered that a lot of ladies copied the patterns from La Mode Illustrée (from the 19th century) and assembled copies and so made a new album. Why did they do this? Sorry for making this an off-topic post, nevertheless I really hope someone can help me out!
