The problem with the word 'craft' is that to most people this means going
into somewhere like 'Hobbycraft' (who call themselves the 'craft superstore'
and you all apready know my opinion of what they sell)

I don't know the best way of publicising, because 'lacemaking' doesn't only
cover bobbin lace. People need to know that (bobbin lace at least - I'll
never master tatting) is accessible to all at different levels from a simple
braid to complex work like
and my
t-shirts hung neatly on hangers. (Maybe I'm asking too much? g)

I'd shy away from the idea that lace-making is terribly intellectual.
I had some friends visit my house, and you can't avoid my various
crafts.

I love the way you put this! When my husband and I traveled to Germany
and Belgium this past summer - I had to go to Brugge and the lace museum
- (absolutely wonderful!) - my friends kept asking me if I bought any
lace. I didn't - I bought books and bobbins and thread. I enjoy making

I suggested she call her work experiments in multi-directional woven
structures I don't know if she has tried it yet, but I think lace
might be more respected with some such less feminine name. It's stupid,
but it's the way the world wags.
Lacemaking is an off-loom weaving
