It's known that if a girl was marrying a man from another
village, she would have to stop lacemaking for 2 years so that she forgot
her pattern, and not take it to the other village, and then she'd start to
learn the new pattern after 2 years.

Please will you tell me the source of this information?
I'm interested to know if it relates to a particular place and time, or
was a more general custom. How was it enforced?
