I find people think we just make edgings and doilies and they aren't
interested in them - they're old fashioned. I point out that I've only made
an edging a couple of times and the same for doilies (mats). They then say,
well what do you make then? I answer with examples such as Christmas
decorations, wedding garters, hand fans, pictures, photo frames, 3D fantasy
flowers, earrings and pendants, cake frills. That usually gets a raised
eyebrow and "Really? I didn't realise that. But it looks so complicated with
all those bobbins."
"Doesn't matter how many bobbins you have on the pillow, you usually only
work with 4 at a time, weaving one pair through the next pair, through the
next pair, and so on."
But it still doesn't often make them want to spend hours actually doing it.
I like the process rather than the finished items. I too am a puzzle
solver.
