One of the trips mentioned is a visit to the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion. "Thee town's lacemakers will hold a special exhibition for the group displaying Cretan lace, bibila and dessies (finger lace)."
I remembered that in "Tina The Little Lacemaker", published last year by the Rocky Mountain lace Guild, there is a picture on page 225 of a finger lace doily from the collection of Vasna Zago: this was "knitted on the fingers" (purchased from the maker in France). Is the Cretan lace the same as this? "Google' supplied basic information on finger knitting but only for making a very narrow strip 'boa'. Can any one supply more information on finger lace?
