Exactly! I'm glad, Jean, that you posted this, and said it so well. WRT lacemaking, beading, and knitting, I enjoy the doing of it, and the end result usually is a nice-to-have.

It certainly can't be with an aim to sell the lace because you could never make it fast enough to make a living. I take pleasure in the process of making lace, reverse lacing where necessary to correct mistakes and learn how to correct what I did wrong. I may or may not be pleased with the finished item, but I'm not particularly interested in that. It's the process and mastering techniques (or not) that I find fascinating - there are so many that I don't think anyone could master them all. David, with al of his experience, has provided a good example here in deciding what to do about the poppies in the piece he's currently working - gimps? twists? tallies?
