A wonderful article with lovely pictures, but once again, the old error
raises its ugly head:
"A pattern is placed on a 'pillow' of straw or, these days, polystyrene, and
pins stuck into the pattern. Then the thread is wound around selected pins
and the bobbins interlaced and twisted."
It just seems to me that it shouldn't be *that* difficult to get the facts
across. I would hope and expect that anyone who has seen lacemaking
demonstrated would have a correct understanding of the process. Can you
think of anything more tedious and unsatisfying than trying to place pins
and then wind thread around them? Uggh!

How nice to find a mass-market magazine article about lace with proper
information about lace from people who really know what they are talking
about.
